Sailing is a very Greek activity. I wrote a blog post about it last year when I got to do it with my mom's class, and I got to sail again this semester! The water is so blue. Even though I live near a beach and a port, the clear blue water always has me in awe. This time the winds were good for sailing, but not too harsh so we could enjoy the adventure without being scared. We sailed in October, and the water was still warm enough for people to jump in! The Greek weather is so nice in that way. Time seems to slow down on the water, giving me another chance to see the difference between my culture and the Greek culture about time. We are so on-the-go and time oriented, and the Greek people are the opposite; they seem more relaxed about that kind of thing, I'm thankful I get to compare and reflect on the different ways of living. The skipper let me help with a rope! It was kind of hard to turn the pulley, so I guess that means I need to get in the weight room... ^^^ waving at our friends on another sailboat!
