The first photo is the skipper taking down the yellow quarantine flag to signify we were cleared in to Europe. We have about 20 rubber stamps in our documents to prove it.
The highlight of the skipper's day was being tested by the harbour police for my command of Greek. They asked what was my view if the Macedonian issue. Thankfully the right answer emerged in comprehensible Greek. (That Macedonia is Greek, and that other Balkan country needs a different name other than 'Northern Macedonia'.). They almost gave us the freedom of the harbour.
Needless to say Maire had her traditional whitebait and retsina for lunch. Some traditions are fun to maintain.
