We spent a week in Preveza at the beginning of April to work on Deja Vu. Our good friends Brian and Michele elected to join us and we really appreciated their contribution to the work Nigel had planned for us all!
New anchor chain, shiny polished hull, stripping down and cleaning of winches, surfaces prepared for antifouling, repairs and maintenance on bow thruster, keel and prop, plus a host of internal jobs earned us all the satisfaction of knowing we were crashing through Nigel’s job lists. Time went far too quickly, but we also enjoyed great company in the evenings, visited our favourite restaurants in town and branched out to Vonitse for supper one evening. We are lucky to have good friends.
Alas, there is always something unexpected that happens and this year was no exception. We are fortunate to have two fridges, one with a small freezer section which is a major part of Mo’s meal planning, but sadly this useful one decided the end had come. We switched it on, put some beer cans in to cool for lunch, but we had to content ourselves with warm beer! The upright fridge was extricated and sent for examination. We have subsequently had to re-order another, which in Greece, is on a 4 week delivery. We will be lucky to get it installed for our trips this year, but our fingers are firmly crossed.
A busy cruising schedule is planned. We return on May 6th, launch on the 8th and let the voyage begin!
