Starboard Daydreaming

Argostoli Bay

The short ride by ferry from Argostoli to Lixouri is usually uneventful; almost like taking a shuttle bus to get from one part of town to the other.

Most passengers who make the crossing with a car onboard don't even bother to get out of their vehicles—an indifference justified by the frequency of crossing and familiarity of the view.

But I always see it as a small adventure and make sure I'm equipped with camera, long zoom lens, etc. You never know, after all, when you may just catch a seagull doing unusual acrobatics, a sea turtle following the boat, or an interesting scene unfolding at the Lighthouse (here's where the long zoom lens comes in!)

There are, however, times that a pocket camera is all that is needed. Just to get a couple of quick snaps for recording purposes.

The remaining twenty or so minutes are best spent leaning over the railing and star gazing. Even in broad daylight!
