Greek Island Sights

 Just more photos . Quiet times.





Looking over the morning catch. Men in deep discussion


If you ask him nicely he'll scale and gut them for you


Line up of water taxis




Son in law's boat the Socrates is back in the water.
His engine blew up a few months ago. The boat has a new engine and he's taking passengers across the strait between the island and the mainland 




Looking up from the harbour

    Sitting here in our cold and wintry island, with a blanket and hot water bottle, expecting overnight temperatures of below zero and feeling very, very envious of your photos of people in short sleeves!

      Oh JC, and we are complaining of temperatures around 19o. Time for a winter holiday?

      Cross fingers. He missed a lot of work at the end of summer but is working hard now

    Wherever transport is involved, be it water or on land, there are always engines to be changed. My memories are of my dad and later my brothers changing engines over weekends, nights, holidays, you name it, there was always something to be fixed. Great photos.

      He should be fine for a few years, engine wise at least

    The weather looks awesome. I’m currently sitting with a blanket on my lap and the heating going
    I think the gods forgot to turn the thermostat onto summer for us

      You're still having extremes. Hope by Christmas the weather will have sorted itself out.

    Summer is making money time - winter is enjoying quite times and catching up time…..or so it seems
    Summer seems to have lost its way here in Melbourne- it keeps making uturns and going back up the highway. Didn’t make it over 11° yesterday!

    I liked this look into daily life there. It's always so interesting to know about other places, and of course, it's so based around water there. So very different than our part of the world here. Water taxis!! -Jenn
