Day 27 - Boat work

We are having some good weather now, so it's a perfect time for varnishing. I put a second coat on the walls and cubby doors of the quarter berth today. Tomorrow the cushion can go back in.
I don't like cleaning, so I set the timer for five minutes and do one small job a day. So far, I cleaned all the walls!  

Catholic Easter happens this weekend and then Orthodox Easter the next weekend. We are still under lockdown, so the church celebrations will take place online. This is the biggest celebration of the year in Greece and I am sure there are people who are not very happy about the lockdown right now. But Greece is happily doing well and not many people are getting sick and in hospital. Everyone hopes that we'll get a bit more freedom in May. The tourist season will not likely begin until at least July because the other countries are not doing very well with the virus widely spread. Greece doesn't want to open up the borders and get foreign tourists coming and spreading the virus among the locals.
Over the next three weeks, the police will be out patrolling to catch anyone trying to travel for the holiday. The villages and the small islands are most vulnerable with older residents and no hospitals.

Here at the marina, life goes on with restrictions. The gym is closed but my neighbours are practicing Yoga on the dock in front of their respective boats. A young family kicks a ball further away from the water. People offer to pick up things from the supermarket. The son of a neighbour brought some freshly baked hot cross buns to share and I gave away a potted parsley plant in trade. In the distance, one can still see snow on the tops of the mountains to the northeast but it looks like spring is finally here. It's the Catholic Easter this weekend.
Here are some images from my run today.
