A Short Hop

The wet and miserable weather that is our lot this week, causes us to dream of our sunny holiday in Greece, so let's go right back there, and pick up our tale.

If you recall, we'd just been exploring the wreck of the Panagiotis. On the journey back to harbour and our boats, we'd stopped off to swim in one of the caves. Dimitri picked one that went a long way into the cliff, so we seemed to swimming into the cave for ever. At one point it got quite narrow and rather dark, and as there were quite a lot of us swimming, we kept bumping into each other.

The high speed boat whizzed us back to harbour, and to our lunch, in no time at all as, with it's huge engine, it simply ate up the miles. There was no free afternoon for us though, as we were due in the main harbour of Zakynthos town that night. Hardly had we returned from our morning's adventure before there were only 4 boats left in Aghios Nikolaos ...


Ours is the second boat from the left - you can tell by the hint of green from the bear flag!

You can't hurry a good lunch though, so we were in no particular hurry to leave. We strolled down to Dimitri's taverna to say goodbye. It was definitely sailor friendly as you can see from the ingenious taverna signing at the entrance.


You'll appreciate how big this sail is when you look at me (Eddie) sitting on the wall under it, to provide a sense of scale.

Our introduction to Zakynthos had been great, but we were also looking forward to seeing the bright lights of Zakynthos town that evening.

Lots of love Eddie & B.U. crew xxx
