Well done Ola for finding these fabulous pics....I agree that it would be great to have an online archive.....but maybe symivisitor has enough to do and it needs another enterprising person to tackle it...any takers out there??

Quote "Very smart indeed Richard....the only other additiion required would be someone nice to welcome us aboard......perhaps I could suggest Johnny Depp!"

Mazie have you been talking to Michelle at the Anastasia, she has been saying for years that someone should buy the Eye Of The Storm, the people smugglers boat which has been moored up in Yialos for about 3 years, and convert it to look like Richard's pirate ship and get a Johny Depp lookalike to skipper her on round the Island trips any takers for the purchase consortium ? if we get enough people we could buy the Lazy Days as well

Gosh yes Eye Of The Storm is another of those sights that always remains in ones minds eye as a symbol of Symi albeit linked to undesirable activities.

It is a nice looking vessel though and its such a shame that it sits redundant when it could be used for something much more productive and positive than the dubious activities for which it has become renowned. Although I doubt Johnny Depp will ever been seen to grace it's bows, I have seen Captain Gorgeous and others manouvering it around the harbour on odd occasions especially when an important visit is due :?:

It is a pity that it's slowly deteriorating because it was a good, well built boat. Anyone cleaning it out below would, by all accounts, need breathing apparatus as it was jam-packed with illegal immigrants with limited toilet facilities. It would be a great shame if was allowed to get beyond repair. However, Greek red tape etc. is likely to prevent anyone buying it for some considerable time, if ever...

My goodness Norm, that was early, have the bin men changed their delivery day?

by **Kojak** » 20 Nov 2009, 21:49

No, and the bed was dry too! Combination of a sore neck and the remnants of an almost fatal cold - being a man I didn't complain of course...

What boat company owned her or who is the person/s responsible for her at the moment.

Just found another pic of Lazy days

The Archaeologia is part of the Ministry of Museums and Antiquities and apart from preventing protected areas like Symi from disappearing under a sea of reinforced concrete and Faliraki-style holiday resorts are also responsible for supervising archaeological digs and sites all round Greece, from the Parthenon to Pontikokastro.

Unfortunately as is so often the case with these bodies, their resources are stretched to the utmost and there isn't always the funding available to do everything they want. Nonetheless, they do a pretty good job.

Maybe we should have a few fund raising events

Firstly -Old Thread Alert!
I loved this boat when I was on Symi this June and took loads of photos of it. Just read all five pages of interesting posts (plus a diversion to those fascinating Flickr images) but still didn't find the answers I was looking for. Anyone know how old Lazy Days is? When did it last operate? How long has it been beached at Hanari?
I'd love to know more! Regards, David.

It's been that long I can't remember, David. Every time I walk round to Harani I expect to see that it's collapsed but...

Thanks Kojak! There's got to be one of the Symi experts here who know the history. Spent hours on the internet yesterday searching for information but this thread was pretty much all I could find! I wait in hope...Regards, David.

Go to

In the late 1980s,early 90s, the Lazy Days was running trips down to Lindos, and I think around to Kalathea, from Rhodes Town, but I have no idea when it landed up in Simi, I think I have a photo of it disembarking visitors in Lindos, but it may take a bit of tracking down, will post it if i find it.

I think I maybe the only one who thinks this , but I really think its time for it to go, It's becoming an eyesore now
