Mommy... Mommy... Mommy...

Finally Mommy came from home!!! I'll tell you the story from the start. We went ashore on the dinghy. We were about to ask someone at a grocery store how to get a hold of a taxi, when one came by and we flagged it down. All by luck. I noticed that the meter started at one euro. When we got to the airport, we wandered around. We got a spinach pie at a bakery. When it was time for Mommy's plane to arrive, we found out that it was delayed by 20 minutes. &%$@#! Well, we got to see the plane land and we finally saw Mommy. Yay!

Mommy

Our mom finally came, after six months of not seeing her. The last
time we saw her was in Italy, when we went to Rome and all the other big
Italian cities. I'm so happy that she is here now, I've been exited
about it all week. Mommy will be staying with us for six whole weeks,
longer than she's ever stayed before. She also brought a lot of stuff
with her too, boat parts and presents for all of us. We'll be having a
lot of fun with her now that she's here, and I'll be enjoying every
minute of it.

Mykonos

Only two days now until Mom comes, and we are anchored off the very
island that she is coming to. This morning we went into town, not much
really, not with all the amazing places I've been. It does have this one
bit that is called "little Venice". The name is pretty accurate, the
place is on the waterfront, and the buildings are built right up to the
water. In some places there isn't even a place to walk. I had a great
time though, and we also know exactly how we will get to the airport to
pick up our long-awaited mother.

--Orion Date

Paros

The island in the Cyclades called Paros has so far been a very
nice place to be, except for the times in which we need to go to town,
which, as my brother has said, usually involves getting extremely wet.
There is a nice beach near here that is a good place for playing with my
little brother. The water is amazingly clear, and in good weather you
can see your anchor on the bottom, about 30 feet away. Today I dived on
the anchor of a boat next to us, who had been very nice in giving us a
computer copy of a great deal of charts. I am very happy here, even more
when thinking about my mom, who is coming to Greece in only four days
from today.

Now just see here...

If you've never been on a boat before, you probably don't know that going to the (super)market is not an ordinary thing that you barely think about. Well on a boat, going to the market can sometimes mean that you need to wear a suit underneath your pants. I'm not going to explain why just think. OK? Good. *whistle* *whistle* *whistle* *whistle* *whistle* *whistle* *whistle*

Got it? Well, in rolly seas, the dinghy isn't the best thing to take out. That's what the suit's for. So, landlubbers, be aware.

Knossos

I have now finally been able to see Knossos. It's really cool because
I've read about it and even did a report about it. The palace ruins
there are simply amazing. Part of it has been rebuilt by archeologists,
and while that may not be preferable to simply restoring, it really
heightens the effect. To think that this place is almost 3,500 years old
just boggles the mind. The center of the whole place was a giant
courtyard, and all of the smaller buildings and temples and things were
built in a large rectangle around it. There was even an underground
portion that was hypothesized to have been the King and Queen's living
quarters. The whole place is truly awesome, and I am very lucky to have
been able to view it firsthand.

The @%$#ing Anchor Light

I may not have told about the anchor light before, so know that
we hate it. Every night we had to fool with the stupid thing until
nightfall before we could make it work. We eventually went without it
for a night of two, we were so tired of trying to make it work. We also
couldn't understand why a simple lamp had a bit of intricate circuitry
in it. At the top there was a small circuit board. We still were
clueless about it's purpose until my dad looked it up on it's maker's
web site. Then we figured it out. It had a light sensor. It was not
designed to come on until it was dark out. That was what the circuit
board was for. That was also why it always took 'till nightfall to make
it work: it wouldn't come on until then. We are still pretty ticked off
at the silly thing, and if it breaks, I'm in favor of just getting
another one.

Getting Back My Stroke

Ever since I first went swimming this year that has been my goal. Over the winter I never got a chance to swim, now I have finally begun to swim again. I got my stroke back astonishingly quickly, but it will take some time before I can go as fast or for as long as I could last year.
