18-20 Sept 2013
We didn't race this year. The boat wasn't up to scratch, and we didn't want anything extra to worry about. So we took 'Tropi' down to Sivota the day before regatta,with Rob and Tanya and Dave's brother, Pete, on board, and helped set up the stage. Then we had a quiet night when everyone who was on the Committee boat next day left the village and just us and Pete were left alone.
Next day was bright and sunny, so we took a long walk along the coast, although Pete slipped on the way back and gashed his knee. I'd found a footpath down the hill that wasn't really suitable for flipflops so it was my fault. Oops. Sorry Pete!

At 3.30 the Committee boat arrived, and the peace was shattered!
Edjukatid Porc did a sound check for their reunion gig
with Dave in fine form for his screaming guitar solos
Then the sun went down and a lovely full moon came up, and Steamboat Rooster opened the party ...
to wild acclaim! (from others, as well as me!)
Note the t-shirts on Vinny and Dave - concept by Rowan, design by me.
Next day, motoring back to Nidri, two years to the day since the wild storm in Vlicho, we saw these clouds streaming out from behind Goat Bottom mountain. Bit worrying, but luckily it fizzled out.
