 |
the fine craft of getting wet and ...... while very slowly going nowhere at a great expense! |
 |
Anxious, looking devastated and feeling lousy.... Terrible passport picture made by automatic machine in London 1997. | |
|
Well, relaxing is also a part of a sailors activities, since when battling the sea there are no hands available on board to take pictures. In the old Spetses harbour, aboard an Atlantic 60 called Bloom, during the summer of 1992. | |
 |
If just relaxing is not enough there are other ways to stay alert! My friend Theo on top of the mast in a bay in Skyros. Summer 2002. | |
 |
This is my sailing boat, a good old Ohlson 29. Made by Artekno in Götemburg, Sweden in 1978. Slim and fast and tough. Trusted under all conditions! From above, brother and sister relaxing while I am forgotten on the mast ! | |
| Tornado in Greece! Our first! |
 |
Officially tornados cannot be observed in Greece because the geographic layout acts as an obstruction to their formation. This is the evidence for the opposite. It virtually passed over us (we were all terrified) but it was very weak. Out of Kea island, early evening of October 1996. |
| Last resort! |  |
When sailing is not possible the closest alternative is my friends view of the Saronic Gulf from his summer house at Ag. Marina. There is even a steering wheel! |
