Tuesday, 16 June 2015: Captain Adonis appears to be the Harbormaster as well as owner of the mini-Market with limited but effective English language & international body language. Son, Marco, relieves Father mid-day to run the store the rest of the time - better English than Father but not as much a character. If one buys more than can easily carry, Captain A will put it all in his car and drive it down the pier to your boat.

Our first next door (outboard) neighbors were a group of young Germans on a beautifully maintained ketch with shiny varnished teak and all new technical equipment.

Upon departure they were replaced by an older German couple (Horst & wife) on a small motorboat designed for cruising the Continent’s rivers & canals as well as the Med (turns out they had previously been in Kemer, TR with lots of Americans - one was SY Pooh Bear!). They in turn had a charter boat outboard of them with approx 8 Polish folk - very friendly & adventurous. We met Adam - a doctor in Poland who upon seeing a watery mess made by his crew as they crossed over our boat to/from theirs insisted upon spraying down our foredeck!

The shuffle of neighbors continued until our departure – fortunately, we had no one outboard on the day we wanted to depart – just one big cat forward & one big cat aft of us.
The berthing costs: 4 nights = 15.50 E (included electric). Water (not metered) cost 10 E/day.

The stanchions with services looked a little dicey so we delayed plugging in or taking water. Then we watched as an experienced "Delivery Captain" plugged in with no worries so we jumped on as well -since there weren't that many stanchions on the pontoons.

Water at a very low pressure is available BUT it is slightly brackish - can taste the salt not so much smell it. We took it on BUT also purchased 8 bottles of 10 liters of water which Captain Adonis delivered to the boat.

This day was made special by enjoying a lunch meal at a nearby local Restaurant – “Family”. It was an easy walk to the very friendly establishment which served simple but delicious meals – nice respite.
