Well we're still here, no movement, haven't even left the dock.

We did receive the required Greek paperwork but only by 4pm Friday Sydney time so our hope is to receive our rego from Australian on Monday now.

It's not all bad actually because we've been kept quite busy so far with many jobs. I think even if we could go for a sail we'd be delayed try to get various works done. It's a little bit like "how long is a piece of string", you start one job and another becomes apparent before you finish the first. We are trying to get as much done here as possible.

The Greek workers are also a little amusing, they all seem to have very long and heated discussions about the best way to achieve something without actually spending much time achieving it. Mike and I spend some time bemused while they shout at each other about what is required worried inside that something is about to cost us $1000 when someone will finally turn to us and translate "it's going to be very expensive... we think almost as much as $40."

That said though we had 3 guys from Raymarine (navigation systems) on the boat for 9 hours and they're coming back again today! Our radar is not woking and we are worried because if it is the actual unit it will be expensive but so far we're still hoping it's a connection problem.

The photo above is typically what our boat looks like now, we had it all nice and organised but now it seams we've pulled apart just about all of it.

We're also suffering withdrawals from superstores like Bunnings and Whittworths. All the stores here in Athens are very small and poorly stocked. We're constantly thinking oh we need a such and such which we know would be very easy in Sydney but it's near impossible to find anything useful here.

I'm making it sound frustrating but don't feel too sorry for us, we're having an absolute ball :)

Oh and Phillip we installed the BBQ yesterday and the mount is perfect thank you!
