Sam busy painting a waterline stripe on the boat whilst I keep him entertained setting the right rhythm for him get his brush stroking to.
It's funny but as the week has worn on the locals now wave and beep their horns as they pass and word has gotten out into the village that the Brits are playing guitar and singing in the mornings. Quite few people have stopped and chatted as result. I even took the guitar down to Dyonasis and played there the other night over a couple of beers.
These are the German couple who have been painting their boat ready to launch it this weekend from the same yard as us. They seemed very nice and came for a drink of the local wine that the Greek lads in the yard gave us, we have been given another one and half litres since the last time.
The Greek Fisherman who has been painting his boat at the other end of the yard launched it this evening but as they pushed it down the slip way the wheel came off so we helped jack it up so it could be pushed in. By the time we got into the village this evening word was already all around about how we had helped.
The chap in the boat was the one who gave us the first bottle of wine for the coffee we gave him. The tractor driver just got chatting one evening and came back with another bottle.
Sam, Tasos and Me outside Tomorrow Restaurant where we ate tonight after a hard day packing the boat and a trip over to Lefkas to register the boat with the Port Police prior to launch tomorrow all being well.
