There are 200 steps leading up to the chapel. During the filming on Skopelos, there were power outages because the film crew used so much lighting and equipment. Although the actual filming lasted only about seven days, preparations took place over a period of more than three months. The chapel’s location is on a rock – at the very end of the island. In the script, the path to it was described as “just a short walk.” In reality, it was a logistical nightmare that consumed entire shooting days. The Greek extras in the film were often actual islanders, including fishermen and shopkeepers.

We've been out on my 33year old, 30ft Sagitta catamaran a few times since launching a month ago. But yesterday was the first "real" sail. I was joined by Alex and Kristina, who had sailed the boat a couple of times last year. There was more wind than expected, 20+ in Plymouth Sound. We left the mooring at 14.30, reached out to sea until we were 10 miles south of the breakwater (according to the gps) then turned round and were back on mooring at 17.30. 27 miles sailed. No breakages, but a spinnaker wrap on the last gybe as we re-entered the Tamar. So "a good time was had by all", and hopefully bodes well for the Falmouth Triangle race this holiday weekend.

When old friends Rus and Fiona came to visit we were introduced to the 'I Like It Here' dance, a kind of tribal ritual that has to be carried out whenever one feels the need to express one's delight upon discovering a new place. This is a very important ceremony that must be executed with complete dedication. In this clip you'll see three experts carry out the 'I Like It Here' dance with great gusto. The lyrics were adapted to 'I Like It Up Here' to accomodate the location. [] www.followtheboat.com [] * tales from the high seas *
