Epidaurus and Dimitri's, Poros with Geoff and Shirley

there seems to be a never ending maintenance/repair list - this week a generator problem (burnt out capacitor suspected - need to inspect tomorrow), transom remote control unit faulty, solenoid faulty......). Always hoping to read more but so far have made little headway with the summer's book list. Geoff and Shirley arrived Wed 20th on the fast cat from Piraeus - took an hour but think it was quite a fun way to arrive and saved us going in to Piraeus/Athens which would have taken us 4 hours each way (also we were keen to avoid having to negotiate all the commercial shipping that goes in/out of Piraeus). We had some lovely sailing with them, anchored out a couple of nights, visited Epidauros (another ancient Greek theatre but this one is really, really special - would be wonderful to see a performance here - they have a series of plays/operas each July/Aug) and Aegina (very noisy, very busy and very hot!) where Geoff and Shirley caught a ferry back to Piraeus.
