Still Friday, June 18 -- on the boat

We head south to Zea Marina (near Piraeus) to board our new home for the next 7 days, the Galileo. Greece1 247
The captain is Greek (Georgios Madafunis) as are some of his immediate crew and the sailors. The service staff are mostly Ukrainian, and our cruise coordinator is a cutie from Austria named Christian who effortlessly slips from English to German to French to Greek...well you get the picture. (Actually I will attach a picture of him as soon as I round one up.)
Hal and I stand on the deck and watch the city of Athens (now 5.5 million inhabitants) slide by as we head south for the Cyclades. We head past Sounion, where the temple of Poseideon overlooks the Aegean, and then head directly to Santorini to try and get ahead of some weather.  Greece1 040
