Come Play

Sorry fans, technical error with the upload is the reason for lateness. We promise it won't happen again! This Sunday there will be an upload as usual.

It's a beautiful night with the stars and moon guiding us through the valley of darkness. Sad to have left Ios and our friends, we are now approaching Anti Paros after a day of hard upwind sailing with two meter waves breaking over the bow.

Nick the Greek

BFF

Cristina, Elena and Nick became our best local friends for the week, bringing watermelon for breakfast every morning and drinking with us in the evenings. Chloe and Vanessa became regs as well and eventually won us over by organising an all-inclusive spar day for us at their hotel which included shampoo, bodywash, a hot fresh water shower and beer (Chloe, Tom's sorry you missed your chance to impress).

Others to be sorely missed;

The 10 girls from Seville, the 4 girls from Bilbao (and their two friends), John and George managers @ Hotel Pricess Sissy (not a gay bar) and our French neighbour Allen.

Wondered where that chain went

Beer delivery

With the guilt of a hangover we were motivated to fix the forehatch hinges and patch up the dinghy (the forecast for wet arses was short-lived) with the guidance of Allen, who then fed us up with French omelette and wine.

Having cruised for 2 years from Australia via Asia to the Aegean, our Aussie extended family were slightly lost when we found  them in Ios. Lucky for them, we took them under our wings and showed them a good time, especially the night we met an incredibly cool American, Nick.

Andy left, much sadness, whatever.
