We arrived at the island of Chios and, as is typical during this time of year, we were the only boat at the quay. We did notice some kind of rack sticking out over the water when we tied our put up at the quay. It turned out that we had docked right in front of the only restaurant that was open, and their specialty was “sun-dried octopus,” which was lying there drying in the sun. Even though the weather was sunny, we still needed some extra electricity—for example, to run a load of laundry. During the low season, electricity is often turned off for sailors, and that was the case here as well. We asked the restaurant owner if we could roll out our 50-meter power cable to the restaurant to get electricity for two days. Of course, we were willing to pay for it. But Greeks are often so hospitable and friendly—it wasn’t necessary. It was around lunchtime, so we showed our gratitude by having lunch and drinks there. A win-win situation! I filmed the restaurant and how our electricity cable was set up—funny to see, also the octopus and the tree in the restaurant!

The dogs and I donate some assets from our vinyl decal printing side business as we prepare to move onto our Jeantot P39, GalaxSea! Katy Manor is where my mom passed. The residents either come in with little, have accidents or sometimes it's nice to just get a new shirt. Angie and I put " Katy Manor Crew" decals on a couple dozen of the shirts. #sliceoflife #peacefulvibe #rurallife #downsizing #pets #sailingthegalaxsea
