Free Greek Electricity? & Where?

[jimbaerselman]

Sound electric supplies are available in many Greek harbours. But in some, local initiatives rule.

This quayside lamp post was being replaced. The local sparky, while connecting the electrics, enquired whether a nearby visiting vessel wanted shoreside power. "Nai!" was the eager reply. "Gimme a plug, then" was the reply (in Greek).

So, now this quayside has free electric power. Unfused. Of uncertain polarity. At one stage this last summer a six outlet extension was filled, with wires snaking around the quayside tripping up the unwary on their evening volta.

I'll pay the electricity if you lend me the boat!

dunno Jim but since Galaxhidi is being re-vamped, could it be there? If so, this will remove one source of income from the local boatman, Bazilos, in his plugging one selected yacht into the bandstand's one and only, but alas timed, euro-socket.

Finikounda.

For today's picture of the quay (resolution not good enough to see the plug!) go to Harbour view

You will see similar arrangements in many recently completed harbours which haven't yet fitted out their concrete!
