Part 2 of our Video/Picture Collection

We just added part 2 of our European Adventure. Part 2 is comprised of entirely Greece. We have spent the last 4 months cruising the many Greek islands. We hope you enjoy our video and music, it was a lot of fun putting it all together. Our next film will hopefully include my (Andrew) travels from Greece to St. Thomas while shipping the boat across the pond, and also our time spent at home!

Ghost Town...

It seems every town we have been going to lately looks like a ghost town. The streets are dead, stores are closed, only a few people wondering the streets. About mid-October the tourist season in the Greek islands end. Also with the recession and stress on the Greek economy things have come to look even more gloom. With the weather turning more towards winter, boats will soon be seeking the warmth of the sun. And as far as I am concerned it couldn't come fast enough. One more stop and this ship's getting ready to sail!

Top Five...

As a deckhand on a private yacht, I am the prime suspect for answering many questions from tourists with too much time on their hands. And it's always the tourist. So I have collaborated a short list of a very long list of task-delaying questions I get asked almost every other day.
1. Who owns this boat? I answer them, "Sorry it's a private boat I can't say," and they follow with question 2.
2. Is it anyone famous?  answer, "It's still a private yacht even if it was owned by someone famous." 
3. (my favorite) Do you own it? answer, "No."
4. How much is the boat worth? answer, "Alot!"
5. Did that come all the way from America?!" answer, "Yes, yes it did."
These are just a few of the many questions I get to answer about my job, quite often.

"I've had rougher days tied to the dock!"

Last summer while we were cruising the Mediterranean, we had a set of guests come on that would have not made the greatest seamen and didn't quite have their "sea legs" on yet. While we were out for a pretty calm nice and easy boat ride some of the guests got sea sick. It's always fun to joke around about it because every one has been there before or hasn't felt the best at sea. So when the guests got sick one of the engineers says, "I've had rougher days tied to the dock!" At the time I didn't know if it was possible, but last night proved it for sure. We were docked in Rhodes and the swell and wind was coming in so strong we had to secure everything as if we were out at sea. The only way I could sleep was laying on my back. I figured that out after nearly falling off the top buck 2 or 3 times. We also had boat docked 3 feet away from us which caused for some very close calls. After a restless night of sleep and long day it will definitely an experience I won't soon forget.
