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.

Ci svegliamo in piscina. Una piscina di un blu che sembra fluorescente. Questa mattina ho 4 chiamate schedulate nel giro di 4 ore, riunioni a noi! Cami invece si sveglia un po’ assonnata e decide di fare un tuffo per ritrovare la produttività. Una sveglia fresca, azzurra. Qualcosa che ti fa ritrovare energia anche se non passava di lì.. Si cambia marcia! Tutti e due ci dedichiamo anche a progetti comuni a cui collaboriamo. Facciamo ragionamenti, mangiamo pranzo e continuiamo a lavorare fino alle 18. Sale vento, sale onda.. stiamo qui? Sì, dovrebbe girare più tardi! E così succede, il vento cala e l’onda si placa. Che pace. Stelle, silenzio e weekend alle porte. Quello che ci voleva per concludere la giornata! Ci vediamo domani dove scopriremo anche noi che faremo, i piani non sono ancora definiti! Domani decideremo. Buona notte da una piscina naturale e un mare che più trasparente non si può
