Friday Oct 14. This place is growing on me.

And it looks like I’ll be a couple days longer than expected. The electricity is turned off from 7 a.m. till 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday and then again next week on Wednesday and Thursday. So, my dentist appointment for the coronation ceremony has been postponed to Monday. I can’t take off with the little stump that is left after last Wednesday’s dentist visit. Today we had our first full day of sunshine since last Tuesday and the rain will be back on Sunday through Tuesday. I’ll probably leave on Tuesday or Wednesday for Khios. My new dodger is installed. A big improvement.

This evening I gave the slide show of parts of my circumnavigation. It went well. The office was extremely helpful and provided a good digital projector and everyone seemed to be pleased with the presentation. Most of the people were from my dock and the one next to me. About 2o people. French, German, English and Ellie a Dutch lady from Rotterdam who I met last Tuesday.

The red cat has become a regular cmpanion. He or she (most likely the latter) shows up early in the morning and expects to be fed. She has got me wrapped around her little paw.
