Ok! We have discovered a way to upload some live photos, using my iPad. The photo below is Becky and Bernice sitting on the back of the boat during the hot time of the day. Bernice said I should not use the photo, but that was after the upload, so you get to see it I guess. Here are a couple of other photos taken around the boat, which is a Bavaria 43.
Why the white sheet? Sun screen! The sun here is blazing hot between about 10am and 5pm. In fact, the locals sleep until about 9am, then everyone is up swimming for a couple hours, then everything stops cold between about 12 noon and 5pm. Then everyone slowly starts coming back out, and by 9pm things are really hopping. Restaurants and eating happens between 9pm and 1 am! If you go to eat at 6pm, the restaurant is totally empty. If you go to eat at 9pm, the first few Greek customers are coming for dinner.
Now more about the boat. Downstairs is a galley:

Ok truth be told things are decidedly "un shipshape" at the moment but you get the idea. It is messy because we have been out walking around, swimming, and enjoying this harbor today, and have not been ready for sailing. When sailing, all is stowed or it flies around the cabin.
There also are three cabins and two "heads" (toilets/shower rooms). They are small but they work:

At the bottom you see an electric control for the windlass, which raises and lowers the anchor. It's probably the thing you have heard Bernice complaining about. And last comes a photo of the head:
This particular head happens to have a separate shower enclosure. Luxury at its finest. "Waste" gets discharged into the ocean when you pump your toilet. Mmmmmmmmm. Might be best not to swim right next to the boat, at least when flushing. We have a second head which has a holding tank that can temporarily hold the waste and then you discharge at sea (which is a little nicer).
