Email to Kelly: Trizonia, a sweet little island IF you can get here...

Gulf of Corinth, Island of Trizonia, Greece--- Dear Kelly, Yes. Things are great...now. We are at a LITTLE island named Tarizonia. We got here two days ago and it was a bit unnerving as we were 1/ 2 mile out and wanted to motor in to the harbor only to find the engine wouldn't start. After drifting 3-1/2 hours in front of our harbour, dodging ferry boats and ships, I was at the helm FREEZING with heavy winds, while Shirish got Blackberry and Satellite phone advice from a mechanic in Gibralter!!! Finally, he was able to jump the engine and get us anchored safely at this tiny island.




Yesterday we tied to the dock and found some mechanics even though this island is SMALL! We will be here for several days as we have now determined, starter, water pump and alternater problems. But I feel very safe and there is FREE wifi and electric at a cafe! (But no shopping, which is actually good).




Today I went with the electrical engineer mechanic, Rhinehart, by ferry then car to the closest big city (Navpaktos) and batted my eyes at the alternater rebuilder for a good price. I got to see new sights and talk to Rhinehart, an interesting salty older guy for a long morning of anthropology and philosophy (his hobbie). It is so beautiful here and this is still before the corinth canal ...still not the Greek Islands that you traditionally think of but really sweet.
