Loutraki's Crew

I closed last time by saying what a great job the lead crew do. They sailed with us on board the lead boat Loutraki. George, Yorkie & I thought they were terrific people and we were pleased to find, very early on, that they were all bear friendly and very happy to have a trio of bears sailing with them. We were a bit surprised when they told us that we were the first bear crew they'd had. We just can't imagine why they haven't had more as flotilla sailing is so well suited to a bear's somnolent character (not quite sure where I plucked that word from, but I'm quite pleased with it - E).

As sailing is one of my favourite conversation topics I spent a lot of time talking with Jono, our Kiwi skipper, and we quickly bonded as you can see from my next picture.


George & Yorkie, being northern bears of a technical persuasion, bonded well with Stu our Scottish engineer - the blond one in yesterday's picture.

We all thought Holly, our Aussie hostie, was adorable and all developed a bit of a bear crush on her. I think she secretly rather liked me too as she was very happy to dance with me at one of the tavernas, and while I don't like to brag, I can't refrain from mentioning that she did dance with me when Sex Bomb by Tom Jones was playing. Surely significant?!


Not only did these guys ensure we had great sailing they also organised some really fun social events. Keep reading the blog to find out more.

Lots of love Eddie, George & Yorkie xxx
