girls in control
After introductions Afghan told us that the weather forecast was too rough to complete a sail to the next Island, even Ferry’s were being cancelled due to the seasonally characteristic high winds known as the meltemi. While clearly a good decision given the high waves, this was a damping suprise to the whole pack. Afghan explained using essential information omitted from the promotional material, girls are in control:
‘mother nature is our cruise director’
‘the Aegean is a bitch’
[seadog laughter] Ha HA HA HA!’
real sailing experience #1: be prepared not to sail.
The pack spent the first afternoon on-land bonding at a beach-side disco-Taverna called JoJo’s; drinking beer, dancing, talking, reading books, sunbathing, sketching, meeting other tourists, swimming and making cell-phone calls/texts.
