Monday Oct 31. Trick or Treat?

Monday, October 31st, 2011

I am looking over the bay and I can just see a few white caps. I am amazed by the accuracy of the Poseidon wind forecasts. They have been right on for the last 10 days.

I will leave the marina here in the morning and catch the midnight Wednesday/Thursday ferry to Piraeus and fly that afternoon from Athens to Amsterdam, arriving late evening. I am booked on a round trip to get back to Athens on April 11, So that I can celebrate Easter, on April 8, in Amsterdam.

Chios has grown on me. I keep discovering new and intriguing parts of the town. I have been lucky to have the company here this week of the Berliners. Last night I spent another delightful evening with them on “Rebell” a Bavaria 38 Ocean. On Sunday there is just nothing open so I had to give the Rebells a rain check for the dinner, they will cash it in this evening. And then we’ll see good bye till we cross wakes next spring.

I am looking forward to see my family and friends in Holland and then fly home for the holidays.
