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!

Giorno 42 - Da Minorca a Maiorca Molliamo gli ormeggi questa mattina presto. Dopo la traversata di ieri ci siamo riposati ormeggiati a un gavitello fino alle 7 di questa mattina. Ci svegliamo, filiamo la cima che ci teneva legati alla boa e mettiamo la prua su Palma de Maiorca, precisamente nella baia di Alcudia. La navigazione è decisamente rilassante: poco vento, una breve gennakerata, un bagno rapido e poi via, giù la manetta come direbbe il grande Maurizio Bulleri. Il tempo scorre veloce come l’acqua sotto Julia che fende un mare immobile come la lama di un coltello alla velocità di 5,5 nodi. Tendenzialmente non amiamo tirare il motore, lo facciamo trottare a 1500 giri, senza chiedergli spesso un galoppo. Notiamo in mare cose strane: nasse con arbusti legati, sciabordii indefiniti generati da animali marini indefiniti e un sacco di barche intorno a noi. O meglio, non erano un sacco, ma dopo il nulla cosmico trovato tra la Sardegna e le Baleari, anche quelle tre o quattro barche son sembrate una classe gremita di giovani scalpitanti. Arriviamo alla baia di Alcudia e diamo fondo davanti al porto, in modo che domani mattina possiamo entrare, ormeggiare e fare commissioni: spesa, acqua, gasolio, benzina al gommone e due passi sulla terra ferma. Non che ci mancassero così tanto, ma già che siamo lì.. perché non vedere la città 😊 Ci leggiamo domani! Andrea

Go check out my new channel called Spearfishing Nomad https://bit.ly/2MQQt0E . This channel will be about spearfishing in different locations around the world but so far everything from Mexico, Belize, Nicaragua, Panama, Jamaica and Colombia have been visited. I have extensively visited Australia's Great Barrier Reef but will go back and do more filming and show it on this channel too. The channel will show my strategy in catching fish in different places and in different circumstances. For example in this episode, can you get decent fish in the shallows.....absolutely! Some of the biggest fish that I have seen have been in shallow water. Fish are there, whether deep or shallow, you just have to know how to get up on them. Enjoy!
