This week has been really good; babes, superb social time and even a bit of religion. I'm afraid we stupidly didn't get any pics of the latter but they are definitely worth mentioning. |

When we first approached four girls in a quiet bar, a debate on the lessons behind a story from the book of Mark wasn't quite what we had in mind, but the discussion that followed was more interesting than you would expect from most girls in nightclubs. Two of the girls were Christians and the other two were infidels.
The infidels came to Crest Hawk for a drink and swim (including a session modelling Crest Hawk's own fashion line). The pictures speak for themselves.
This was followed by a Christian BBQ and I can tell you, Christian meat is more tender than pork or beef. Jonathan, Ed and Will (of the BBQ) joined us for coffee the next morning. Tomas led the conversation/interrogation and it turned out we had more in common than we anticipated (you best send us the pictures Jonathan or we'll throw you to the lions).
A few days in Paros-dice wouldn't have been the same without the awesome company of our Skippy sidekicks Justin, Deb, Haley & Riley. We had them for a Crest Hawk pasta dinner they had us aboard Miss Behaving for yet another amazing meal (and copious amounts of rum). |

Sailing from Paros to Mykonos turned into a nightmare upwind epic with gusts of 35knots (40 over the deck). We left at 9am and by the time we arrived at 11.30pm we'd been through dark times. Ben looked like something out of Exorcist when he projectile vomited the watermelon he'd enjoyed an hour before into the sea. Having beaten into the weather for 8 hours we decided to try the engine but miscalculated how long our 8 litres of fuel would last us making just 1.5 knots and the engine gave up 6 miles from our destination. In the end it was sheer determination and the fact we'd agreed to meet our Aussie mates in Mykonos which saw us through.
Tom's Top Tip: "If Poseidon forecasts calm weather, prepare for a rough sail"
Ben's Best Bit: "Watermolon, but only the first time"

Pero Gilly, esto no se ajusta a las penurias y adversidades que me cuentas por teléfono: hambre, navegar sin descanso de noche con viento en contra, sin combustible, calados, con frío... Me alegro. Un besazo para los dos.
