Good ship Fortuna

Hello from the island of Poros. Lynne, Brett et al have left us and it seems very quiet with them gone! We had a great 2 weeks on the boat with them and visited many amazing places. James is quite heartbroken not to have Meagan to fawn over. He has been busy telling us about when they get married, how many children they will have, and how nice they will be to their kids...

We liked the sailing so much that we arranged another boat for 6 days ( a Bavaria 41) and have headed out to explore the Peloponnessos. Very different from the other Greek islands and coast. Our boat sails very well, and we are enjoying sunshine and warm temperatures. Poros is beautiful - the harbour is loaded with luxury yachts - however, the water really stinks as there is no sewage system! Yuck! This morning we were rudely told to move our boat as our anchor was near the town's fresh water pipe. Turns out it was; I can see how they'd be upset if the harbour water got into their drinking supply.

We are back to Athens on Wednesday, and will explore there until the 6th of May when we head back to Italy. Sounds like Spring is arriving in Calgary - get out and enjoy it while it lasts!!!!
