Is This A Valid Masterlock Combination

Back Messolonghi

Part Two wintering Messolonghi

Hello,

It's been a month since we returned to Messolonghi. After a short stop in Athens, we found Algieba a beautiful sunny day. No problem, the boat was in order, not wet ... A good interior cleaning and washing of the bridge were our first occupation.
Then life resumed its course in late January has been well watered and not very hot and we had a week of wind is particularly tiring with one night when he blew at 50 knots ... So you that we have not slept very well, the boat vibrating his whole rig in the gusts. However, we felt safe harbor moorings seem solid! Some say that the clips are not very reliable ... He should go to the bottom!
The surrounding mountains are snowcapped, us with a magnificent panorama ... Yes, Messolonghi area is very beautiful.
The good weather returned to 5 February with temperatures around 20 ° in the day, giving us the opportunity to take the bikes for nice walks in the hillock where the spring is already evident with many wild flowers including some beautiful irises lining ditches. The rustle of water is the only sound as these places are quiet, we were risky in small ways sometimes cut off by a small creek that we had to cross a ford ... Anyway, good times.
We also explored the lagoon via small roads built on embankments lined with small fishing houses on stilts ... From charming places although some cabins are guarded by big dogs and other little bastards riders! Our friend
Elias, chandlery, is pleased see us ... We are good customers! Indeed, all the steel that was used to build the portal comes from home and accessories. It's a lovely boy and very helpful as well as our young merchant of fruits and vegetables, all traders in general are friendly.
As always, we look for a small studio for a month, the time the boat will be down ... This is not won because it seems that many apartments are rented empty! Furthermore we are not at all sure of the date of the vessel, operation of the marina is a bit special!

At February 15, The back porch is complete, the cables are installed électrques, had to find a solar panel, which is now done in a craftsman Messolonghi electronics ... but when is the delivery?
Some of you find the photos too small. For those aligned on the right, I can not help it, I am dependent on the Blogspot server. By cons, you can magnify those in the text by clicking ... Finally, here's a nice country setting. Happy reading and see you soon for more news.
