It has been a long time since I have seen a computer so no chance to write but just completed our first circumnavigation of Milos.I am going to write these as a series so as to cover the richness of our travels.
JUNE 15th,
After a day of instruction on the water and practicing wet exits and forward and sweep strokes in the beautiful sheltered horseshoe bay we can indeed confirm that the water as always is 82 degrees divine...and as always sunny! Our group of eager paddlers range in age from 13yr old Noah and his 16 yr old sister Zoey from Evanston, Illinois to Michael an adventurous lively Canadian Brit who states he doesn't feel a day over 74! ( when in fact he is 75) This is Michael's third trip with NWP though he is apparently no stranger to adventure travel and has seen the world from the seat of his kayak with many different outfitters, also enjoying bike touring...that the week is full of his small rich observant antidotes or jokes delivered with his fabulously dry sense of humor and youthful sparkle in his eye.
There will be 15 of us (including Dirk who will join us from Crete tomorrow) RIck and I are back from my most recent trip to Creta last fall
We watched the sunset from the Panorama hotel in Klima as we gathered for welcome drinks...and introductions. Tomorrow we begin the start of our adventure- circumnavigating the islands of Milos and Kimolos, little or no places for lunch or tavernas and sadly for the coffee drinkers no real capuccino stops along the way as we have on offer when paddling on Crete!! Trying to find snack food that will survive some hot days in a kayak could prove to be challenging. But really there could be more to worry about if i was so inclined...but alas I'll have to leave the chocolate behind...
