We have sailed the beautiful bay of Napels with our catamaran. There is so much to see: the city of Napels, Pompeii, Sorrento, Capri. And also being in the harbors and looking at the villages build up the hills, make you realize that 2.000 year of history with the Roman Empire lives together with modern society! For example, this is Porto di Baia, our drone flies from our boat in that harbor to the modern city and suddenly you see that above that modern city the remains of an old city is there. The old city that is now excavated, was build on the wall of an ancient Volcanic crater. Also the dome you see later in the video, is the Temple of Diana, the largest best preserved dome chamber after the Pantheon in Rome. It was a thermal complex making use of the hot waters in the ancient volcanic crater, that was build in 300 AC. Amazing that this dome was not discovered until the end of the nineteenth century when metropolitan lines were build and they discovered that beneath the modern city, was this huge thermal complex. At first, the connection with Diana, the goddess of the hunt, was not clear, until they discovered a marble relief depicting a series of animals, and more animals covered the walls and ceilings. Enjoy flying over this beautiful area around the harbor where the remains of the ancient Roman Empire as so close.
In our town we have a small swim lake for the kids. Each year the geese nest on an island and the population can get to 50. They stay all year and if the number is more then 20 they make the beach unusable. So after talking with the Ohio Department of natural resources we put together a program to encourage the geese not to nest on the island. The program is very simple. Visit the island with a dog for 2 hours every day during nesting season for 2 weeks at dusk. The Geese will then become convinced the Island is not a good place to nest and will move away. It is very important that you do not hurt the geese in any way and that you follow the law in your area. I also take her to the island a few time during the summer just to check it out. Here is one of our trips during the summer.
