Julie didn't want to go out today so, after lunch, I set off with the camera for a walk across the headland to Agnos beach. There was a bit of cloud, but the sun kept popping out and bathing the mountains in sunlight. The sea was a bit rough, but that made it nice and fresh and I took lots of photos of the rocks. An hour or two later, I wandered back into Roda and the colour of the sea was spectacular - a real turquoise - but the waves were getting bigger and the village was deserted. When I got to the harbour, there they were, all six of them - more people than I'd seen all afternoon. As usual, they were busy with their boats, and the sea was getting better all the time.
Half an hour later, when I went up to Roda Stop in the car, there wasn't a boat left in the harbour - the sea and the sand were a blank canvas. The seas were getting bigger and a real maistro was developing - we haven't had many of them this year. 'I'd better light the wood burner tonight', I thought - the first time this year. As I was sawing some logs, a boat went past me heading for the back of the building next door. The penny was starting to drop. 'Force 6 tonight', said Vangelis, 'and Force 9 tomorrow.' Ahhhh, I remember high winds being forecast a week ago and it seems that Greek TV says that tonight is the night.
First came the rain, then the snow, and tonight??? The forecasts that I've looked at don't agree - so who will be right? I'll tell you tomorrow! ;D
