Whether you like it or not…..NOT.
Oh, really,…Capt Pete is gonna whine about the weather again? Sure, it’s easy but a lot of peoples lives have be terribly affected. Last week Spain got slammed and I’ve been following a system spiraling south of Italy. Looks like a big “C”
and I was going to name it appropriately but I was late and they already called it Daniel….pfff. Long story short… it slammed Greece and it was nasty. My heart goes out to the victims. The heavy rainfall has gone by and now we’ve got a Force 7 blow for the next five days!
I’m tellingya…. ol’ Zoot’s location always has a turd over it and it’s getting old.
So. the last post I was whining about the heatwaves…. they passed at last and we, the buddy boat and I, sailed off to our favorite spot across the South Evoian sea. Wonderful sailing conditions and I just used the motor for 1/2 an hour averaging 4knots under full sail. It’s fun trying to be a purest sailor!
And I’ll just throw up a bunch of pics
And yes, we caught some fish!! They were everywhere in the beautiful waters. Who would have thought!
But naturally the weather (see title) was gonna have fun with us. We were going to run north or south from it but it didn’t look good so we sailed back to our safe moorings….boring. But the sail back was a blast. Note to myself….when you’re sailing south of the “big” Island and you see white caps ahead…..REEF now!…oppps…too late….great fun!
Yeah so…what to do?
I hopped in by car and drove down to the Nafplio farm house and spend some time with family.
So poor ol’ Zoot Allures is all alone swaying on a mooring in the grey weather before the blow.
May the Universe protect Zoot Allures. And to be sure we got a new member for the Zoot Shrine.
So the summer didn’t pan out the way I thought. But all is good.
Actually I have been having fun sailing around the bay when the weather is nice…yes, I said nice.
So have a nice time and
Weather the Weather
Stay nice (please)
Capt Pete
ps….I have a few bluetooth apps on my phone which are vital for Zoot’s electric motor operation ( which I hope to post about soon). Yes there is a backup phone. So as a rule I don’t break it our for taking pictures. And when I do…you be the judge.
pss…. the “small summer” is around the corner!
