We have now left Savarna at the Zea marina in Athens until we return in September. As we arrived at the marina we passed a Hanse 370 on a berth and they waved out and then as they saw our stern they waved out very vigourously. Later found out this was also a kiwi boat - Manaia, owned by Jamie Thomas and his wife. The Zea marina is dominated by the superyachts tied up stern to in the outer basis - there are plenty of them. We are on the end of E pier angled in with a big cruiser on one side and a 150 ft ketch on the other.

There was a fresh cross wind blowing when we arrived but fortunately we managed to berth without damage or touching the adjoining boats. Had a chat to the Israeli skipper (I was wearing a Herzilya cap which is where he comes from) and he was pointing out the number of boats around us that had been repossessed by banks - he reckoned that was why the marina was so full as many of the boats were sitting waiting a sale.

That's it for this trip
Cheers
