PP in Nidri

[Pavalijo]

Jacaido there no need to apologise , I didn't take any offence at what you said ( my god you making me work hard to night ) you asked the question and I answered it . The best way I could .
I look at this way , I am sitting on my boat six miles in land on a river in Croatia , very clear sky thousands of stars , it about 30c , there a cool breeze in the air ,Other then water slowly slapping on the boat ,and some one playing softly on his guitar there not a sound to be heard , my co skipper and the love of my life is slowly getting though her glass or red wine and I am enjoying a cold Malibu and pine apple , the cat sitting on the Bimini watching the fish jump out now and then , we got no train to catch to morrow no work to worry about , if there a bus or tube strike it matter not to is , if Tesco and Sainsbury gets into another price war over bake beans do we care , as long as we wake up heathy , this is all that matter , so how does dyslexia effect my life and way I live , ? not a bit . Now the weather is any thing .
Now our drinks are finish and it time to listen to the water slapping on the bow from our water bed ,
Good night fellow sailor .

WHERE'S THE "LIKE" BUTTON??:encouragement:

Whilst in Nidri several weeks ago the pp went out just after dusk checking anchor lights in tranquil bay. When asked what they doing they said that you have to comply with the rules and gave me a stern look. Thankfully I was on the fisherman s quay at the time!

Was anyone fined as quite a few boats had no lights at all?

Historically, the average Greek country dweller has been an illiterate peasant and has just taken the instructions of the local police officer as law. If the policeman says it, then that is what you must do. You don't question him at all. You NEVER even think if what he want's done is legal, you just do it. Most Greek police officers expect that response, even demand it.

Then along comes the western European, the Brit in particular who would not think twice in saying "You ain't got nothing on me Mr Plod; I know my rights and I know the law". Don't try that in Greece. Well DO, actually because it can often be your only way out of a situation but be sure to say it to only a senior officer for they DO tend to be better briefed on the actual laws of the land.

Steve , you got that in one mate , you know all the years that I have sailed in Greece every time I had some kind of problem with the PP I always stood up to them and most of the time there seen to back off , ( don't try this at home boys ) it been said many time from people who know me , one day you meet the wrong PP and you be being bars , they could be right , maybe it time I started to back down .

I think it's all about knowing a bit about the law , not a lot just enough to make them think maybe your right .
