Kalimera Levita!


I woke up to a bit of sunlight streaming into my cabin from the open overhead hatch. We had anchored overnight in the shelter of The tiny island of Levita's horseshoe shaped harbor. A quick breakfast of Greek yogurt with granola and honey and I made my way all the way aft, and sat with my feet dangling into the water next to the ladder that connected sea to boat. The azure and sapphire shaded water was perfectly calm and the gentle morning sun caressed it, dancing and laughing against its glass surface. The hills surrounding us were a shade of gold. Suddenly over the boat's speakers came the sounds of 80's Madonna: la isla Bonita, cherish, like a prayer. And it was so stunningly, perfectly ambient.

Captain Robin came up from the cockpit and said "Puhfect day, ya?" (Awesome German accent).

The moment froze in time for me: a lush moment of absolute contentment on the water in the Greek isles.

Ya. Puhfect day.
