After about 24 hours of travelling, Jess and I arrived at Cleopatra and put our luggage onto Tara and started the cleaning and reanimating process.

| Hooking up the aircon. Priority #1 |
The first two things we typically do is connect the batteries and the shore power. This lets us get refrigeration and run the portable air conditioner we bought a couple of years ago.

| JJ the best teak scrubber in the business |
We did a good job cleaning up the boat The teak really gets filthy and requires a lot of scrubbing that Jess took to with vigour. A day and a half of steady work and we were ready to go into the water. First order of business is to raise the jib as it is frightening to do that on land. Once the sails were up, we were good to go … all the way to Preveza (About a 1/2 mile) and we backed into the quay with about 50 meters of chain out, and then filled up with water, groceries, ice and booze and we were ready to go. First stop, Ormos Varkiou.
