Now this is not the end
Posted on September 12, 2011 | 12 CommentsIt is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning. Churchill was referring to the changing tide of the Second World War after vanquishing German troops in Egypt. I’m using it because Ondine is on dry dock, […] -
Wind me up
Posted on August 22, 2011 | No CommentsWe sailed from Naxos to Amorgos today. Before we left, I looked at the weather forecast, plotted the course accordingly and left with two reefs in the main as the meltemi (the local north wind) was forecast to blow at 20-25 knots and that usually […] -
Contrasts
Posted on August 14, 2011 | No CommentsOne minute you are diving into the ocean wondering how to frolic through the day. The next you are diving through a throng of people wearing a suit and wondering whether you’ll find suitable employment. Which one would you rather be doing? Yeah: we’ll I’ve […] -
Delos
Posted on July 22, 2011 | 8 CommentsToday we visited Delos, I haven’t been since I was a kid, but I am pleased to say that it is still as I remember it: probably the best, most-intact set of ancient Greek ruins in the world. Delos is a VERY special place. I […] -
Greece: a brief political observation
Posted on July 20, 2011 | 1 CommentGreece, I grew up visiting here as a kid in the 1960s and 1970s (yes, I am that old). I’ve always loved it, and the Greece I love is still here. Of course the Greece that makes the headlines these days is the Greece whose […] -
HACKED
Posted on July 9, 2011 | No CommentsThis blog was just hacked. And because www.sailingondine.com is attached to my twitter, LinkedIn & Facebook accounts, I’ve probably just recommended some loans to you. Several dozen times. For the record, I don’t actually think that these loan providers are reputible. In fact, I’m a […] -
Greek Drama
Posted on July 4, 2011 | 3 CommentsOr as Emma-Kate said more accurately: rudderless in Zakynthos. After zooming 6,000 nautical miles to Greece, we finally arrived in the Peloponnese in the island of Zakynthos on June 30th at 2am. We dropped the anchor just around the corner from the main port of […] -
We’ve arrived in Greece!
Posted on July 1, 2011 | 3 CommentsWe’ve been pressing onward to Greece with an unwavering sense of purpose and everything else has taken second place. We’ve not been blogging or exploring as much, but we have been doing one hell of a lot of sailing: about six thousand miles or more […] -
Whales in the Med
Posted on June 26, 2011 | 3 CommentsWhales in the Med I had no idea that there were whales in the med, but today we saw some. Forgive the TERRIBLE pictures. But this is all I could grab. There were two of them and they had a huge shark-like dorsal […] -
Gibraltar
Posted on June 23, 2011 | 3 CommentsSo we’ve been saying we sailed to Gibraltar, but you know, its not true. Sure, we crossed through the straits, and we had every intention of mooring in Gibraltar. Hell, we’d already reserved a space in Queensway Quay Marina. When we took down the sails […]
