Boys and Boats

It's time to get the barnacles off the bottom of our fishing boats



Arion, the other family fishing caique, was scraped and freshly painted for the summer fishing season


Here she is sleek and shiny afloat in Neorion Bay


Ho hum, here she is back on land. Arion has sprung a leak which has to be bunged.




And here's 'Danae' about to have her bottom scraped


Inspection by Captain K


Scraped and ready for painting but the 'mastora' is ill so she'll wait and dry out a little before receiving her final paint job


Back at work. The first undercoat being applied.


Ready for launching


Hopefully there will be two more photos soon of two little boats bobbing again in the bay

      They are very smart now. Hope they are attractive to fish too 😅

      Lovely winter photos. It's nice in the summer but empty beaches and quiet days are most enjoyable

    Everything in its season - you know summer is on the way when bottoms start being scraped! :)

    Really nice boat. I kind of miss ours since we sold it but hopefully the new owner can use it more than we did.

      I think ours will have to be sold too. More repairs are being done than fishing. You had some great fishing trips. Bet you miss it

    Beautiful. It's a dream of many to have a small fishing boat on a Greek island.

      It used to be my husband's dream too. The boat I mean. He used to go out almost daily but he's enjoying eating fish now that others have caught

    We noticed you said boys and boats but will you be going out in either of them at any stage - just to supervise like? xxx Mr T

      I don't like small boats. Clamouring in and out are the worst parts but they're also noisy and smelly. I just like the fish

      One son in law has a water taxi. Much more enjoyable for a trip on the water
