DENOUSSA for the night

After finally deciding on our plan, we headed towards this small island, Denoussa, just for the night. They had a sweet little bay (which I forgot to get a picture of) and we just chilled there. Mike and Shaggy really wanted to see the US play in the Cup so some of us dingied ashore and wandered to the town. It was a very quiet but lovely little village. It had a beautiful, sandy beach and the water was calm. After the first half, we found a little shop (in a family's kitchen pretty much) and got an icecream. I remember it being very creamy icecream and making me very happy. Angel and I decided to go back early and had to take the dingy back to the boat. Mike had given us brief instructions how to get the motor into the water and how to start it...neither of which happened. I jumped into the boat first and then Angel. She then proceeded to try and get the motor in the water while I kept my eye on where the boat was...not to far off, what I thought was the Naphe. I gave it a go and then (maybe 45 seconds later) I looked back to see where the boat was and there was a yacht swinging towards us about 2 meters away...I showed Angel and tried to pitifully paddle us away from the impending doom of yacht on dingy but just as it swung around (swinging because it was just anchored at the front) the stern swung right around and there I saw "NAPHE"....it was our boat and we had drifted right to it without ever getting the engine going. I felt like such a girl but didn't really care because at least we weren't drifting into someone else's boat. That was very funny. Boy, we drifted fast.


Oh, me on the pretty beach in the village

But then we had to figure out a way to get the boys the dingy so they could get back from the game and we could all go to bed without waiting for their whistle. So Ashley took this little tube we had picked up floating in the sea, took the dingy back over, and then came back to the boat on the tube with the head lamd. Something about him reminds me of a turtle. I don't know why.

Again, I had some strange attraction to these little houses. They are so funky. I could have spent another lazy day at Denoussa but we had bigger and better things to move onto. It was a nice little spot though, glad we went and that the currents are our friends and drift us back to our boat without any mechanical support.
