Time to Move on.

Well the sea gypsy has recharged his coffers by not spending much and staying in a lovely cheap marina but there is a distinct lack of activities here. I have done a few tourist things, I've been swimming in the sea regularly which is clear fresh and clean but as Confuscious said dormancy breeds lethargy!

Nigel came over to visit so we drove around, ate a lot and installed my new telly.He was quite heavily laden when he arrived with TV, Amazon fire stick, sausages, bacon, battenburg , salt and vinegar peanuts, mulligatawny soup and a hydraulic pump! Pretty impressive smuggling and obviously I was very grateful for the effort and bacon sandwiches.I decamped to his hotel for a couple of days which was funny.

I've been trying for at least 3 weeks to get to Lebanon or Egypt and have just gone round in circles.The Egyptians need a good hard kick up the jacksey ,what a bunch of monkeys.Long story short Lebanon , through talking to some people in Larnaca with their contacts is next stop.I have secured a berth and an agent and intend to depart in a couple of days. Only one way to find out the truth .Is it safe or not ,worst case scenario I do a U turn and speed away at 5 kts. I shall report once I'm tucked up in my berth.Personally I think the Israelis are the liability out side of Lebanese waters but we shall see. 

That's about it. Visited a quite impressive Roman ruin outside of Pathos.The Romans don't really float my boat though. Went to a car boot sale on the beach ,mostly tat and old English refugees on the stalls.Did buy a soldering iron, new in its packet for pennies!

The boat in the picture landed on our beach about 3 weeks ago.19 Syrians piled off .I didn't see them but went to look at the boat .Some one had already robbed the wheel, thieving rats.On market day a crane turned up to remove it from the beach. I've scrumped a few satsumas,a lemon, grape fruit and one Pomelo in my time here all very juicy. Such a shame its left on the trees and no one eats them.

There we have it. Bye bye Ayia Nappa.
