Back to Work

Mike slept like a rock but not me. At first being on a town quay is kind of fun. You are right smack in the middle of town, everyone is walking by talking and laughing, you have all of the sounds from the bars and restaurants. Well, the fun has passed. Last night was hot and loud. Even though we were sleeping in the v-berth, the furthest point possible from the sidewalk, it sounded like everyone was right on top of my head. And the wind scoop seemed like it was just funneling all of the sound down. And then I woke up with the beginning signs of a cold. So today was my day to do nothing except work on writing and posting the blog which was a constant battle. Our computer battery has died so anytime the very temperamental adapter/plug gets jostled, at the slightest, the computer turns off which is especially frustrating if you haven’t saved anything in awhile. And it was also a fight with our internet connection and a couple of phone calls to Vodaphone. Mike’s battle today was the electricity. He ended up buying about 200 more feet of cable, making a splitter and bypassing the Italian’s objections and plugging us both in right at the source. But then funky stuff started happening with our breaker panel. It’s a good think Mike has been able to line up an electrician to come tomorrow. Mike also had luck in finding a sail rigger to come by tomorrow as well. The evening consisted of yet another gyro, a little more walking around the delightful town and then back home to watch a movie and take advantage of our power. While in Galaxidi, we bought ‘Inception’ from a guy selling DVDs on the beach. It’s either hit or miss for the quality. Well, this time was a miss but we couldn’t turn it off because it was so intriguing. So while trying to make out the fuzzy images, looking past the shadows of heads in the audience and the huge Greek subtitles and holding our speaker up to our ears we watched the entire thing. Not sure how much we understood or got but know that it is a movie we will have to see again!
