Force 8 Northerly Expected

The rain is supposed to catch up with us again tonight but at the moment it is clear with a brisk northerly breeze. Snow is forecast for high ground in much of Greece over the next 24 hours, with a significant drop in temperatures for all areas and a force 8 northerly expected in the Aegean tomorrow.

The dock workers’ strike in Pireaus shows no signs of being defused and the implications are starting to be felt throughout the country as unopened containers mount up and goods from other parts of Europe and the rest of the world accumulate. According to the Athens News the tailback of trucks was already 18 kilometres long on Thursday.

Yesterday a flotilla of sailing yachts passed through Yialos. Today, the rather ugly grey megayacht in the photograph. No, it isn’t a naval vessel. It just looks like one!

Have a quiet week. I’m going to Rhodes on Wednesday, weather permitting, to do my Christmas shopping.

Regards,
Adriana
