Symi summer season has started! (Or maybe not)
We have a couple of yachts in the bay this morning marking the start of the Symi summer season. They are not the kind of vessel you usually see around here in the winter. They came in last night, after dark and are still there today. I can’t see their names and they don’t show up on ‘Live Ships’ so I can’t be nosey and see who they might belong to. Perhaps they are very early season holiday-makers acting on yesterday’s blog and getting their Symi holiday in early. (Unlikely.)
Perhaps they are something to do with the military activity I saw the other day; the helicopter coming in and setting down some importantly looking men in uniform who were met by solders from the training camp and driven away. Perhaps it’s a rich someone trying to find out how much it would cost to buy Symi and soon we will find ourselves a subsidiary of the king of Al Kaleffa and his lands. (How exciting.) Or maybe it’s old Stephen Spielberg back again for another recce of the island as he’s thinking about filming another war film here like he was a hundred years ago, or whenever it was.
Or maybe it’s just too early in the morning to think about it. I am, once again, rattling off a post before settling down to work as I didn’t get it together to get one together yesterday. And yesterday was another day for staying at home and enjoying the full day to myself. Today I keep threatening myself with a walk to Yialos and back to see if the new thermals have arrived as cold weather is due to set in again next week. We’ll see how the morning goes; but if I do go down I may find out who the boats belong to, I expect the whole harbour is talking about them. (Not.)
