Gavdos must wait



Todaythe Force 6 winds continued - bringing down yet more of the foliage supports on our balcony. Too windy for our scheduled last lunch on the beach with "old" friend Pauline from Aachen & her new beau Ron from Glasgow/Portugal/Nigeria, so we met where they are staying at Flora's and had the privilege of an afternoon with Papa Poseidon:- 75 years old, Danish & a former merchant seaman, he was unable to cross today to the island of Gavdos (most southerly point in Europe!) because of the wind. His essential travelling kit comprises twice as much as he can carry, supplemented today by food for a month - cauliflower and salami! He is an expert on Che Guevara, yoga & naval craft. Bonne route to all!
