Day 10: Mykonos, Greece

As expected, we are beginning to eat our way out of our clothes.  Food on board is more than plentiful.  The food line never shuts down.

We arrived in Mykonos, Greece at 1PM.  This was a change in our itinerary as we were scheduled for Mytilene, Turkey but they were having serious issues with boat people from Syria.

The captain was planning to anchor the boat in the harbor and ferry the passengers to shore by “Tenders”.  Just as we arrived in Mykonos, the wind started blowing at 40 knots or approximately          45 MPH with gusts up to 50 MPH:

·        The Captain came on the P.A. and said it was too dangerous to ferry passengers by “Tender” and he cancelled the port-of-call.

·        We walked out on the pool deck just as the deck chairs started flying, the water came out of the swim pool and the pool boys ran for cover…with that going on, we headed for our cabin.

Tonight they are planning to up our food intake by scheduling a “Taste of Greece”.  There should be tons of Greek food.  I will break out my TUMS and have them ready for the morning.
