The sea was wild this day in 1998 at Naoussa on Paros. We had looked forward to swimming so were disappointed in the weather on this trip. Still, it was fun to walk by the sea and hear the crashing waves. We had a day on the island of Antiparos. The sea was relatively calm in the morning, but on the return trip late in the afternoon, there was a very strong wind. We were frightened for our lives, certain that the small ferry would capsize as we entered the harbour at Paros Town. The danger was brought home to us later when we heard about the accident that occurred at the same location in 2000 when 82 people were drowned when the ferry ran onto the rocks.Friday, September 11, 2009
