The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

La sveglia suona e qualcosa va issato. Pensavamo a una vela e invece issiamo Alessandro. Quotidiana amministrazione, è salito a sistemare una drizza che in questi giorni fa i capricci. Iniziamo al pc, in un ufficio senza spazio e senza tempo. È facile dimenticarsi della vita sulla terraferma quando passi tanto tempo in un’isola che non ha radici ma ali. Pur continuando a essere presenti al pc, in questa traversa il nostro effort lavorativo è diminuito, per scelta. Oggi dovrebbe essere l’ultimo giorno di bonaccia, prima di agganciare il vento. Il pomeriggio scorre tra letture, scritture e chiacchiere. Niente pesci, ahimè. Il blu gennaker si amalgama a meraviglia con il blu dell’oceano e l’azzurro del cielo. Il blu, il colore che calma, dicono. A bordo di Julia non potrebbe essere più vero. Un blu che entra negli occhi e nel cuore, un blu che si imprime nell’anima. Buon blu a tutti 💙
