Today was day cruise day! We woke up early and were at the harbour for 8:30 to see if any of the boats would be going out. All the boat captains we talked with yesterday said it was too windy but this morning there was a boat going out and so we set sail (literally it was a catamaran with sails) for a trip around part of the island.
It was a beautiful but very windy day! The sea was rolling and I was ever so thankful I bought AND remembered to bring gravol with me on the boat. I was okay for the first hour and then it hit me and it was gravol time! As soon as we stopped I was out of the boat and in the sea. The sea was beautiful, clear blue, with turquoise in the shallow areas. The water was cool (think cottage in august) and we could swim to the beach.
After a two swim spots we headed to this spot with beautiful rock formations and we snorkelled around and chased fishies. They are actually pretty friendly! Although I was unsuccessful in catching one... They are pretty fast.
We also had lunch out there which was local speciality bread spread with garlic butter or tomato sauce, Greek salad (which tastes amazing!) and a pasta with octopus. Very fabulous!
We headed back and we sat at the front of the boat as we headed back to the harbour... We got completely soaked because the wind got crazy strong and the waves were huge like the waves where you see all sky and then all water.
We got home cold, exhausted, and a tad sun-kissed. We showered and headed out the restaurant we visited yesterday. So today we had tzatziki, beet salad with yogurt, chicken and eggplant cooked in a clay pot, and cheese pies. It was just as delicious as yesterday! I can't wait for dinner tomorrow! Yummy!

A great day and we're both exhausted! I want to give a HUGE shout-out to Laura who agreed to check out the catamaran today in waves big enough to even satisfy me. I got to fulfill my dream of a hammock-boat (google image catamaran if you don't know what I'm talking about) despite Laura's lukewarm feelings about rocky seas. Thanks Laura!! Best. Travel. Partner. Ever!
