Sadly, on grounds of taste, it was deemed the latter, although we did subsequently find out that we had won the best decorated cocktail, which was something of a consolation. I think we suffered from the fact that engineer Richard, wasn't available for the judging, as he had to work on somebody's broken engine. This meant that we had lost a beer man from the judges and ours was mostly a beer cocktail, after all. Thankfully our male minder liked our cocktail so it wasn't wasted.
All the flotilla enjoyed a wonderful beach picnic with lots of roast chicken and lovely salads. We got extra rowing practice when we realised that we'd forgotten to bring our own cutlery as instructed and had to row back to Milia to get some.
The next morning we sailed over to the very popular Cephalonian harbour of Fiskardo. As it is so popular we were advised to get there by lunchtime to get a mooring on the quay. We did this and got a prime mooring as you can see from our next picture. Doesn't Milia look a fine vessel?
When it came to early evening, and the briefing for the next day, we all gathered in the designated bar and wondered where our skipper, Ben, was. When he was spotted at the top of one of our boat's mast, we realised he was going to be late!
As you see from our picture, he was a long way up, which is why he seems so small. It certainly isn't an easy life being lead crew. And this was all to fix a problem with a radio aerial. Mind you boat radios are very important which is why George and Yorkie practise regularly with ours.
We'll tell you about our leisure time in Fiskardo next time.
Lots of love, Eddie, George and Yorkie xxx
