Symi Saturday Photos: The Maltese Falcon
Actually, these are from Friday when The Maltese Falcon was in the bay. This boat is “a full-rigged ship using DynaRig technology, which was built by Perini Navi in Tuzla, İstanbul, and commissioned by her first owner, Tom Perkins. She is one of the world’s most complex and largest sailing yachts at 88 m (289 ft).” (Wikipedia)
Of course, I read that as ‘Diana Rigg technology’ which threw me for a while, but the size and luxury of it might explain the extended firework display set off at the new jetty on Thursday night. I was up before six on Friday and so saw it leave; very quiet and majestic. I wonder who was on it? Anyway, not great images as it was dark (you will have to look closely), but there you go. Oh, and some images of the sunrise that morning and of a few chillies we finally have on the chilli plant; just hoping they have time to grow a bit before the winter weather sends the plant to sleep, or whatever it does in the winter when the chilli gets chilly.
Before you go… As you know we didn’t make it to the Panormitis festival this year, but Adriana did, and you can see her photos at her regular Symi blog, Symi – a Greek island diary.
