It's not all play on these travels as there is always work to be done. Matter of fact, on this stop alone, the anchor windlass failed, we snapped three lines, blew out a fender, put a hole on our dinghy and broke a cleat on the starboard side - yikes. Jenée is carrying new fenders and lines back to Jungle. There is always something! Today we head out on our final leg for Cyprus. Yassou.
Did I mention it was windy? Either that or I'm married to Medusa and will turn into stone.
We strolled to Red Beach, pretty unique place.
This little guy reminded Jenée of her son Garrett. She misses her baby and will see him soon. Of course at 6'6", 260 he ain't such a baby anymore.
Of course do I catch it on film? No. Take my word for it, they were crashing.
That's Jungle's dinghy tucked away and good thing. The waves would occaisionally crash over these tables.
Around the corner we found this scenic little stop.
Time to go to the beach. My California bride's favorite thing to do. We took our dinghy out to this remote location. A little rocky, but very nice.
Quite the panoramic view.
Jenée's trained eye recording the sights.
Sitting atop of Oia.
This is the local garbage service of Oia. Probably the most photographed donkey around.
That doesn't concern us today. We're digging this place.
Looking to the south from Oia, we see the volcanic "plug" I mentioned earlier. We are looking from the north end of the volcano crater and we see 6 miles to the south. That is an incredible amount of earth blown into the sky. It wiped out and entire early Aegean civilization. By the way, the volcano remains active and we're anchored in the middle of it.
Back to our tour through the village of Oia (oh-ee-a) at the northern most point of Santorini. These old wind mills are found everywhere. The summer months bring the meltemi winds - very strong. They keep the temperature very comfortable, around 78 degrees.
We even had time for a pool side break.
A shot of a private residence. Mostly all is for rent or otherwise dedicated to tourism - the islands major business.
Here's something you don't see every day. Octopus and peppers hanging out of the restaurant.
Everything just drops right into the sea.
Everywhere we walk we find these great views.
Due to its wonderful reputation, Santorini turns out to be a major cruise line stopover in the Aegean Sea. That mound behind is the volcano "plug" that marks the center spot of the volcano from where it blew centuries ago. More on that later.
We found this great little restaurant (they're all great) for a private lunch. Jenée had a Greek chicken salad, I had a specialty lamb , peppers, potatoes dish. Fantastic. Not a bad view either.
We spent the day touring this beautiful island - called "the most romantic in the world". That works for me.
