Day 2 - 12 Days of Sailing Christmas

Day 2

"On the 2nd Day of Christmas my true love gave to me...

Two Rigger Gloves,

And a receipt for the yearly mooring fee"

Check out tomorrow for another installment of '12 Days of Sailing Christmas'.

Relevent to Day 2's lyrics, it has been bitterly cold here today. Definate glove weather! The sun was shining, doing it's best to warm us up, but the air remained chilly. 

I think today has been a recovery day for most of Greece. St Spyridon Day was celebrated yesterday. Everything was closed and everyone named Spiro had a celebration. 


St Spyridon Day is a celebratory feast in honour of a saint who saved Corfu from Turkish invasion in 1716. He also apparently banished the plague from the Island and is known as 'Keeper of the City'.
