Vlicho had been kind to the two sailors. Rory, the Irish landlord of the Vlicho Yacht Club, had provided them with a stove no bigger than a fire extinguisher, but warmer than a woman's boosum. Captain Pierre of the Avoret and his beautiful wife Corin of Toulouse were hosted for dinner with the Crest Hawk signature dish: pasta white-sauce and Lidl turkey sausages. The favour was returned with the most delicious lamb steak and pizza.

Comfort never interested our adventurous heros though, and thus they set sail for Meganisi. The wind blew a steady 3knots and hence the 8nm were covered in a steady 5 hours. With the shock of discovering such high cabbage prices, €1,50/kilo, the sailors slipped lines the following morning. With the wind weaker than a sparrows fart, they landed at Paleros, 8nm to the NE, that afternoon where they found enough females to satisfy the inmates at Guantanamo Bay, cheap cabbage prices to match and free showers. The sailors were sure they had reached the promised land (not Israel, the other one).
The nights could be lonely onboard and the sailors sometimes entertained themselves by writing and singing sea shanties, like the one you can hear at the link below

At last Lotty has sorted out my blog account for me... no more children are allowed to leave home, as I will need at least one here to deal with these technicalities! Grandpa would have appreciated the bit about the sparrow's fart! Love love to all the crew xx
