"There's always a plan, but unexpected things happen and we just go with the flow. Though I do believe that fate and destiny often play their part"

As I pulled open the blinds this morning the sky looked like a raging inferno about to explode at any moment. For a split second I thought I might have died and gone to hell. Have I really done enough bad things in my life to deserve such an end ?…answers on a post card please. With my trusty little "snap and hope for the best" camera I took some pics, although the vivid colours and the intensity of the contrasts don't really come across that well. As ever, click on the images for the full size version. The pics aren't too shoddy I suppose, but I'm not banking on landing a job as a highly paid international photographer any time soon. Instead, I've turned my talents to a different money making scheme…sun dried chillies. Having said that, it's clear to me that I might need to up production by at least a million percent if I want a new boat out of the proceeds!

A FEW PICS OF COMINOClick a photo to enlarge and use side arrows to scroll through.
COMINO IS CURRENTLY HEREDID SOMEONE SAY SEAFOODOn our journey from Portugal to Greece we enjoyed amazing seafood almost everywhere we stopped. Finding the local fish market was always a priority because seafood was so plentiful and so reasonably priced. And, the displays were a feast for your eyes.
Locating a market sometimes meant pounding the pavements in searing heat, but if you kept your eyes peeled, you often came across a little clue. The pic below was a rather less than subtle advert for a fish market - it was eight feet tall.
Freshly cooked onboard, a plateful of giant prawns, baked in wine and garlic, washed down with a few glasses of local vino, was like heaven. Watching the sunset on the boat eating a meal like that was the epitome of "living the dream".
Now we're in Greece we've another favourite to savour. I'm talking about fried Calamari. It's usually good, but every now and then it's off-the-scale fantastic. At Natalie's Taverna on Kontokali Beach in Corfu, it was nothing short of epic.
We're based in Lefkas now and It's been a bit of a mission to find somewhere just as good. And we have. Rakias is a mere ten minute walk from the marina and this little fish market, with its very own taverna attached, is quite sensational.
Oh...and it's also worth mentioning that, on occasions, a bit of barbequed Octopus is on the menu at some of the tavernas we frequent. Can I resist....no. SUNSETS AND DRAMATIC SKIESNo filters, or any other monkey business, have been used to enhance these images.
