This snip-it may be a little awkward if you're not reading it within context of my blog, but I am showcasing the power of the new ventilation system. Look at all that movement! That will cool the engine room down in no time.

We anchored in the bay of Laganas and while we were anchoring, we suddenly heard a puff coming from the water. It turned out to be a sea turtle that swam at the back of the ship and came up for a moment. We were surprised, because we knew that this bay was famous for sea turtles, but we did not expect to see one right away. And it was impressive, because the sea turtle was at least 1 meter long and weighed 80kg, which means that she is certainly more than 50 years old. The sea turtles have become the symbol of Zakynthos, they are called Caretta caretta and can grow up to 1.20 meters and weigh 100 kg. They mainly eat jellyfish, shellfish and seaweed. The breeding season runs from May to August. Females come ashore at night to lay their eggs in holes, after which they cover them with sand. A nest can contain up to 100 eggs. After about 60 days the young turtles hatch. They navigate to the sea by following the moonlight. The caretta caretta is very threatened by pollution, fishing and tourism. We spent 3 days in the bay, saw a sea turtle behind our boat a few times every day, but often 8 tourist boats immediately came to see the turtle very close as it tried to swim to the beach.

Per il momento le isole inglesi ci sono piaciute tutte (quelle viste, chiaramente). Sarà il fascino inglese, chissà. Ci svegliamo presto per dirigerci all’ufficio immigrazione. Dietro suggerimento, puntiamo Road Town, sull’isola di Tortola. Finiti gli impegni burocratici, torniamo a bordo per lavorare fino a tarda sera. Domani rimarremo qui per fare spesa e lavatrici, poi ci sposteremo verso Virgin Gorda, paradiso in terra. Tenetevi pronti a visitare le famose isole vergini britanniche direttamente dalla coperta di Julia! ⛵️ A domani Camilla
