Nikos did not sleep well that night, had a terrible nightmare, something his mother told me he regularly got, and neither did I, so it was decided that we would stay on the yacht so that he could sleep. I wasn't feeling too well either, as in order to tan faster, I did not put suntan cream on the previous day. I was feeling feverish and looked like a bally overcooked lobster, my skin a bright and evil looking red.So I silently thanked the Lord for small mercies, as I could just picture the interest if I bared my wellrounded, red bottom on the beach for the beautiful people to be entertained! Nikos fell asleep just before two pm, so I cooked myself a late lunch, made myself comfy on the deck underneath an umbrella, and sipped on a glass of red, then a second one, and a nice quite typsy feeling stole over me, making feel at one with the world, the lapping of the water at the boat's sides lulling me to sleep. That is when I was shocked into a state of panic! A huge, long thing like a plane without wings was coming towards us at breakneck speed, and this alien looking thing was hovering inches above the water! Before I could have a good look this thing from outerspace was past, and I  was reeling from shock. On reflection I decided that the wine was making me see things, so I tipped the rest
of the bottle into the sea.
Worried the whole afternoon about my seeing strange things under the influence, albeit only two glasses, and when Yannis later asked me what was wrong that I was so quiet, I asked him earnestly never to leave me bottles of wine again, as it make hallucinating. Such mirth as they showed when I told them what I saw was bally indecent, and I went around feeling a bitty foolish when they told me that the yellow monster was nothing more than the Flying Dolphin, a Ferry that sort of hovers above the water. Forgot what they called it. Still, with the fright still fresh in my mind, I decided to go easy on the drink, although up to now I only had a glass when having a nice meal. I was also quite relieved, as I thought that with such a twisted mind I would not be good for the kids, and might have had to go back to my empty nest, and for that I was not quite ready!!!!!
