Hard at work in Lakki

We have settled down in the Marina at Lakki, going though the huge list of jobs to be done. Lin strained her back helping move a gantry in the yard and exacerbated it throwing the lines when we got her. She has been in a lot of pain but has managed to do a lot of little jobs that don't strain her back.
We got the alternator fixed - it was severely corroded inside and needed new bearings and bushes - and it now works fine. We have got the boat clean and polished and are doing lots of little repairs. We are also installing a new more powerful battery charger, a new more powerful inverter and a new more sophisticated alternator regulator, so there is a lot of electrical work to do. Then the shower drain pump packed up, so that's another job.
We have grown to really like Lakki. It is a very friendly town, not geared up for tourism, other than yachters, with a superb greengrocer and excellent little grocer/delicatessen. There is not much for young people to do except scream around on their motor scooters, and the older ones scream around in their cars with the radio blaring (and letting of bangers as a practice for Easter). We will probably stay here until Easter and then head to Turkey for a month.
