“E al fin il fiero Orazio di sua parola dia segno, per ogni uom su questa terra, solo la morte è final pegno, e la piu fiera è la spavalda che il vil timor mai divora, e le ceneri dei padri e i Sacri Templi onora.” dal film Into the Storm - La guerra di Churchill (Into the Storm) - Regia Thaddeus O'Sullivan Altri video dello stesso film: https://youtu.be/yncMrE5H3sM Colonna Sonora: https://youtu.be/83v5OjAV08s
We arrived at the island of Chios and, as is typical during this time of year, we were the only boat at the quay. We did notice some kind of rack sticking out over the water when we tied our put up at the quay. It turned out that we had docked right in front of the only restaurant that was open, and their specialty was “sun-dried octopus,” which was lying there drying in the sun. Even though the weather was sunny, we still needed some extra electricity—for example, to run a load of laundry. During the low season, electricity is often turned off for sailors, and that was the case here as well. We asked the restaurant owner if we could roll out our 50-meter power cable to the restaurant to get electricity for two days. Of course, we were willing to pay for it. But Greeks are often so hospitable and friendly—it wasn’t necessary. It was around lunchtime, so we showed our gratitude by having lunch and drinks there. A win-win situation! I filmed the restaurant and how our electricity cable was set up—funny to see, also the octopus and the tree in the restaurant!
