Each year about now (in the Med) cruisers are firming up plans for the season and preparing to set sail. We are headed west, but many are travelling east and we’ve all on different timetables. Makes for a nightly excuse to get together for 5‘ers that carry on into the night with stories, tips for favourite anchorages and farewells. So many we don’t expect to ever see again. This is the sad part.
It also brings to mind all the things that are so ordinary here in Greece, but weren’t common in the country before and won’t be common in the next. Thought it worthwhile to jot a few “Ordinary things” down before the old memory gives way and we forget them altogether.
