The first island we visited in the Saronic Gulf (the stretch of water south of Athens, Greece) was Aegina. In the southwest corner of the island lies Perdika. We found this little fishing village so charming that we sent our drone up into the air to admire it from above as well. You can see the colorful fishing boats moored at the docks in the sheltered harbor, and along the promenade are the whitewashed houses so typical of this part of Greece. To me, the village had retained much of its authentic character. From the harbor quay, you can see the uninhabited islet of Moni – a nature reserve that can only be reached by boat. It is said to be home to peacocks, fallow deer, and wild goats.

Last Wednesday, I went down to our local harbor for a dawn paddle on my stand up paddleboard (SUP). Sunrise on a spring morning is a special time, and what better place to see it than from the water? I stuck my bow into coves that are too shallow to reach on a "real" boat, and skimmed along the marsh shoreline for a closeup of the osprey pair in their nest. (They watched my progress carefully, but didn't fly away.) Duck families and a flock of Canada geese were my only other companions. http://blog.boats.com/2014/04/wednesday-water-sunrise-sup/ For more boating videos, visit http://www.boats.com.
