Much boatness today, sailing around the caldera of Santorini. It is only from the sea that you realize just how much of it has been blown away.

Bright sunlight, incredibly blue water topped by white foam spraying up from the bow. Yes landers, I did get a face full of salty liquid and it was very refreshing.

And just down the rail from me was the girl in the black hat. Long dark hair, long pail limbs, too young for me but as a pure exercise in appreciating loveliness she was worth looking at. And when she sat with her eyes closed and that hair framing her face under the shade of the dark straw hat.....
