| NEW SHIPMATES BASIL & GERRY (IN PLANT POTS !0 |
We had a great time cruising the southern Ionian.
Peter & Audrey soon got into the way of life living on board, and quickly became active and useful crew members.
However they were not the only newcomers to Josephine.
Basil & Gerry the flowerpot men have joined us and now get all the attention.
When anchored or moored they have pride of place above the companion way. When at sea they live in the sink in the heads (toilet) !
We always admired plants on boats, and were told that Mosquitoes don't like them. Peter will tell you that they do not work !

We had many great evenings, mainly eating on board with a few runs ashore to try out the local tavernas.
A "Come Dine With Me" competition between the boys and girls resulted in excellent cuisine. The girls won by a very narrow margin after they produced an excellent and innovative Egg and Chips. No mean feat on a boat !
The boat now seems strangely quiet since they left. Now its just Mandy, Basil Gerry and I
We plan to spend a few days chilling in what we now call Goatree Bay, and then move on to explore the Gulf of Patrass and Corinth.
Our next post will explain why Ormos Kapali is now known as Goatree Bay and the technique of how to anchor in deep water and tie up to a tree. One of us goes swimming !!

What a great experience Peter and I had. We enjoyed it so much and have many wonderful memories, some of which are ME actually sailing! But let me tell you, I was in very safe hands, with both Ray and Mandy's expert guidance. The sailing was superb, so exhilarating, the scenery was outstanding, never let it be said hot climates are barren! just green, lush and magnificent!Such a wonderful area, deep blue seas, pretty and quiant ports and lovely bays.The food...well I think Ray has said it all...up the girls, woohoo!! Thank you both for the experience! Happy times ahead.
