At LAAAAAAAAST!!

After a two month wait from the date our first two boats were shipped from South Africa they finally arrived. Next week they will be sailing in the seas around Santorini.
More to follow in a few weeks time.
Here are some photos that we took today.

PS The red boat is the rescue RIB we have.

Monday Nick. Not that they are not ready but the cover is so heavy you need two persons to put it on and due to the bank holiday not very many people around for the weekend.
So Monday is the day

Adobe Photoshop is a great tool. We are not convinced that there are as many ribs as you claim out there. Take them to the shore with different people on each one and then PERHAPS we'll reconsider

...and the old lady with a bit of make up.

Re uncovering the boats we have not put yet all the life saving gear on. We intend to do it tomorrow and will post the photos of the boats fully geared for a BOATMAD HOLIDAY

Hi Manos,

When do we get to see your lovely new boats then? You've kept us in suspense long enough! Time to reveal them in all their glory...

Hi Louise. Sorry have been very busy with people asking to go out on them and try to finish some paper work for the rest with the Coastguard.
Will take some photos today and when I'll get back this evening will post some photos. Been up since 5:30 am to short the boats out and take them to the water.
BTW any spare helping hand much appreciated.

Hi Louise,

Very sorry we did not keep our promise to post some photos of the RIBs. They were all chartered out and we just fogot to take the camera with us. One of the boats will be back Monday next week and will make sure we take some photos with our clients on it.
We WILL NOT FORGET this time

Come on Manos put us out of our misery

I've been told that he is not in Greece for the moment. He should be back late Sunday night, (that's yesterday's night). So I think that he will be posting those much discused photos some time today... I THINK
