Kingfisher Yacht Cyprus

 And we have new cushions for the cockpit! Thanks to Jane for doing the sewing.

And we're back sailing! Well, strictly the photo shows me back in the marina after a brief sail.  And Helen sitting on the dock eating! A rather strange Navtex message from the Turkish RCC.   

 

15th November 2022 I had a phone call from the marina asking me to come down to discuss something. Initially that worried me as I thought there must be something wrong with Liza . They assured me there wasn't and when I got there the marina operations director asked if they could use Liza as the 'Christmas boat'. So…  21st November 2022 Liza was lifted out of the water 1 week later! I had been intending lifting her to do bi-annual maintenance in the spring, so that was brought forward. There was very little growth on the hull. A little on the bottom of the keels but for two years in the water I was very pleased with how little there was. Probably because I sail her a lot so there is regular water movement.  Then she was moved round to the entrance to the new marina village where there are sheds with food and other shops and a large Christmas tree in the middle. Apparently having a lit up Christmas boat is a Greek island tradition and this was to be started now in Cyprus i

Motor out to the anchorage for… Kayaking… Time with friends (in this case siblings!) Food! Swimming and returning…
