Hello from Greece

Yassas,

   Our day started with the alarm clock set for 5 am.  It is now 9:21 pm and I’m pooped.  We left Netsel Marina at 8:10 am and arrived at the official customs/immigration dock at 8:30 am.  There was a bit of confusion as to when our agent thought she was to have met us; we thought 8:30 am and she thought…well, anyway, she arrived at 9:45 am so we got away by 10:05 am.  Seas were much calmer than they’d have been on Wednesday but still a bit rolly.

  We arrived about 4 something a managed to get secured Med more style without too much drama.  Our second try was perfect.  We had to visit the Symi police, the customs, and the harbor master.  By 6:45 we were all set and on our way to dinner.  We chose a place on the waterfront near our boat drawn by the wifi sign.  Randal brought our small travel computer so could get check his email and get the password.    After dinner I took a walk and some photos and now am back on the boat on my computer  using the restaurant password hoping the signal will be strong enough to send this Symi preview.

Dinner on the waterfront.

My cod fish wasn’t great but the garlic puree was and I’ll be tasting it until we reach London.

My  salad was huge enough for two and Randal’s pasta chicken was  enough for a second meal.  The olive oil was particularly good.

We’d met Guy in Ashdod and there he was with his family walking along the quay in Symi!
