It is October now and fall has arrived in Greece with shorter days, strong winds, and thunderstorms. Soon it will be time for me to move from my safe moorage to the town quay where I can plug into electricity for the winter. I have a new solar panel, thanks to Tom and Marta, my good friends, and a new regulator, thanks to Thorsten, a neighbour in the anchorage. However, the solar panel cannot provide enough power for an electric heater which I will soon need.
But I haven't been idle. The solar panel provides me with enough power to charge my laptop. And so, my latest book is nearly finished. More stories of sailing. These are a few chapters to whet your apetite: How I happened to find and buy Eidos, what can go wrong when trying to get boat insurance, and a story of some problems faced as an older sailor.
I just sent the final draft to Lizzie Bolan, my editor. Meanwhile, I'm searching for a photo for the cover. Keeping my fingers crossed to have it published in time for Christmas.
