Greece Poseidon Kythnos Delos Mykonos

I am actually back in Athens after a line broke on the cooling system of one of the diesel engines on the HB II. We limped into the closest port which was near the tip of Attica. We disembarked and took a bus to the temple of Poseidon on a high promontory overlooking an azure sea. It is difficult to describe how beautiful the land and sea are. Then we motored to a restaurant at a beach and had and excellent fish lunch. The only problem is that it was the whole fish and I hate to have it look back at me when I am eating it. I assume it had minimal mental function after being fried. I wasn't able to Email yesterday as the small port of Kythnos didn't have a functioning internet cafe. I went for a swim and we had the captain's dinner for which I wore the sport I have been carrying around the whole trip. The evening was great except for the Adiddas sales people who partied until 3:30 am next door. The previous day we were at the island of Delos which has very large ruins there were impressive. The only people who live on the island are the caretakers. We then went to nearby Mykonos which has an airport and is filled with resorts and homes for the rich and famous.
