Saturday – October 11 - Mykonos

Oh goodie, a Greek island!  The port lecturer warned us to expect topless sun bathing at the beach.  Oh Dear!  Unfortunately, just before we pulled into the harbor channel, the captain came on the PA system to warn everyone that the approach might be rough and that everyone should either remain seated or make sure to hold on.  Shortly thereafter, he came on again to announce that they had boarded the pilot and after discussions had decided that the winds and seas were too strong to permit a safe anchoring. (He said the wind speed was approaching 60mph!)  We could not dock because of the size of the ship, and using tenders from anchor would have been very dangerous.  So he backed out of the harbor and we are now on our way to Egypt.  This is the second time in two cruises this has happened to us, we also missed Grand Cayman on our March cruise.  If you look at the picture, you have now seen as much of Mykonos as we did.   (Footnote for Dan and Lily:  We won the morning trivia)
