The Meltemi has Arrived

The meltemi has arrived, bringing a welcome drop in temperatures. Everyone I spoke to on the way to work this morning commented on how pleasant it was to have a decent night's sleep for the first time in weeks. This same brisk breeze has, however, confined the Aegli to port, as well as the water taxis and excursion boats, and there is a huddle of yachts in Yialos, struggling with suicidal gangplanks and fender chafe.

Pachos is busy and a cosmopolitan conversational mix of Italian, French and Greek is drifting up through the open window. The Proteus has just come in, bringing a crowd of heavily laden young back packers. A mule train is joggling by. The view from my window is a lively one indeed.

Regards,
