We are now on the island of Lipsi and there are some strong winds coming through, so we have taken the opportunity to get some boat jobs done, safely tied to the lea side of the quay.

My boom cover is now finished, it looks good and works well.

Here you can see several octopus, hanging out to dry in the sun. The fisherman said that it takes five hours to tenderize them.

We ate there that evening and it took us nearly five hours to chew them!!

It is always great fun to meet the local young people. Here we are with a crowd of newly-met friends, Daryl had gone along the quay to help them tie-up.
