When we sailed the island of Lefkas in the Ionic Sea of Greece, on the most southeastern side of the island, is an islet called Atokos. This is an uninhabited island, where on the east coast is the famous Wild Pig Beach. We took our dinghy and looked at the pigs that walked on the beach here. The pigs are wild or semi-wild pigs, probably descendants of animals that were once left on the island by humans. This happens more often on uninhabited islands, where pigs are introduced for food purposes or accidentally stranded by ship voyages. Atokos has been uninhabited for a long time, but in the past it was occasionally visited by shepherds or hunters. The pigs may have come from these. They eat a wide range of plants, seeds, roots and nuts that occur in nature. On Atokos vegetation is sparse, but pigs can eat dried grass and branches. Marine life can also be a source of food; some pigs eat washed-up seaweed or small crustaceans. Although pigs are technically wild, they often exhibit semi-tame behaviors when they come into contact with people. Their behavior depends on how much interaction they have had with visitors. They can tolerate human contact, but often remain wary. Some pigs are curious and dare to approach, especially if they smell food!

⚓️ Just gave our new @MantusMarine M3 Chain Hook its first test and Tynan’s reaction says it all! Compared to our old chain hook, the M3 clips onto the chain hook quickly and easily with no fumbling around. It feels rock-solid, secure, and is super easy to handle. Definitely one of those upgrades that makes liveaboard life easier. Huge thanks to Mantus Marine for gifting it to us, no strings attached. #MantusMarine #BoatLife #LiveaboardLife #SailingGear #MantusM3 #CatamaranLife #AnchorGear Prefer to support the channel as a 1-off?
