I have just returned from a holiday spent sailing on the Ionian Sea in western Greece. Needless to say, I kept a good lookout for interesting work boats during my "odyssey". Apart from one very interesting and impressive, Greek built, day cruise boat and a very neat fast water-taxi, I didn't see any noteworthy new or nearly new boats. What I did see, however, were a number of very innovative conversions or re-cyclings of older work boats. These were mostly now engaged in aquaculture. One, in particular, was a former double-ended, landing craft style, Ro-Pax ferry. It was being used as headquarters for an extensive fish farm.
