All alone!

It is early in the season and this afternoon Eidos is the only yacht in the inner harbour. 

Earlier, two tripper boats full of school children came but so far no other yachts. 

Chló sewed a rip in the main sail and polished the stainless steel,

while I made tiramisu for desert  and pizza for lunch.

April showers

Today, mother nature couldn't make up her mind. It seemed that every five minutes it either rained or the sun shone. I managed to catch a bit of dry weather to wash the Sahara sand off the deck just before we had a downpour.

And in the afternoon, I went for a quick walk and caught a few images while the wind pushed aside the clouds for a quarter of an hour.

The rest of the time I spend knitting and eating.

Sahara dust

For the past few days, we've had strong southerly winds and they have brought with them sand from the Sahara desert.

And so, all the work Chló has done cleaning the decks has come to naught. Eidos is now covered in orange powder. 

Luckily we have access to water on the Little Vathi town quay, but there is no point washing the decks until the wind shifts. Hopefully in a couple more days.

My crew is optimistic so decided to wash her hair. 

I want to keep warm, and since we no longer have electricity for the heater, decided to bake cinnamon buns.
