Visiting Grace

By
If you're lucky enough to be coming out to see us, here's some reminders of what to bring.

It can rain in Greece, and it can be cold. Bring a light coat, preferably with a hood, and a warm top.

Most of the time it's sunny, and you can live in a swimsuit, sun hat, and shades. We have plenty of suntan lotions of various factors, so unless you're fussy, please feel free to donate a little money to the kitty instead of flying your own back and forth. (The same applies to shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, and insect repellent).

We have sufficient bedding, pillows, towels and so on.

Bring snorkels, flippers etc., or buy them out here.

If you read, bring plenty of books. There'll be lots of chill out time. Please also bring a book each to donate to our library - its up to you to pick something we'll enjoy!

The drainage in the lower field

By Phil
What could you do with three cans of green gunk, a tub of Vaseline, gaffer tape, some cling film, bin bags, cardboard, and a power drill? We insulated our fridge. Right now, it looks like a Complete Bloody Mess. Today we learned that Bavaria insulate the sides and the bottoms of the fridge boxes with similar polyurethane gunk. Who'd have thought? Of course, we'd removed the compressor and drilled a couple of holes before we discovered this. Anyway, we're now convinced that the heat mostly was escaping through the wafer-thin top of the fridge, which makes sense as there's often sunlight directly onto the dark work surface. Tomorrow, Sara will attack the gunk with a bread knife and some sandpaper and it should come up nicely.

Launch Day!

By Phil
Yesterday Grace got wet. Four boats went in yesterday: Cloud 9, Iona, Gabriella, and Grace of Lefkas. All were launched using a traditional method involving smoking, hammers, occasional shouting, and impressive skill. Kyriakos, who runs the operation, knows the dimensions of all the boats in his yard and adjusts the launch sledge by eye. Launch Day! Considering the amount of standing around, it was an exciting and exhausting day.

Greek logistics work after all

By Phil
The new alternator arrived on this morning's first ferry. Look at the shiny-shiny: I had to swap the pulley for one the right size, but otherwise its all fine. - Phil
