13/7 - At sea...

We discovered half-way into the voyage today that we're not actually going to Venice - we've booked the only weekend of the year that the port is closed for some gondola thing and we'll be disembarking about 15 km down the coast.  So, there'll be no sailing in majestically at dawn lark; a bit disappointing, but anyway.

The boat is heaving with these people - www.crystal-tour.de, which seems to be a teutonic Club 18 - 30.  Well, not as drunk and rowdy, but just asleep everywhere, on every bit of spare floor.  The good thing is that you can trip over them and stand on them and they barely notice it because they're so exhausted from so much partying in Corfu.

I like the boat.  It's a bit small - it looks like a tug boat next to the Minoan giants, but it's got a friendly, laid-back atmosphere, like a floating youth hostel, and sailing so far has been uber-smooth.
