Does Herpes Get Worse

The Rabbit God

pays his tribute to the lack of sleep the last few days. The pitching him out of the skin slippers and after he has his breakfast gepieen overboard, he stretches out on the cockpit Bank and sleeps through the rest of the day.
We think about it today to go after Antikythira hold, but then to our original Plan set to make a stop on Gramvousa. This small island at the extreme north-western tip of Crete is served by a number of excursion boats, which sell hundreds of tourists during the day here. There is a tour of a Venetian castle and a small beach. Late afternoon, hit the ships and tourists again and the uninhabited islet is again the fishermen and some amateur sailors that: it will here.
When we try to cast our anchor in the bay comes a dinghy approached. In the best of Viennese explains the occupant, that we can set up short at one of the Mooringbojen. His name is Costa and Austria-Greek half beings. Funnily enough, we find later still found that he is just that Costa, the mooring we had used almost in Chania.
Costa is already almost two weeks here and has made friends with the fishermen in the bay. Ado, he invites us to her for evening meal. He also queried via radio from the fishermen, if we can moor at the small pier. We must, as the fishing boat that is usually here, this night remains in Kastelli.
We use the remaining daylight for a walk to the castle, which is actually quite impressive. We also have to admit that the island is populated with rabbits, not wild rabbits, but rabbits, white colored in white and black pied.
Since we do not want to eat at the expense of others, we cook on board noodles with vegetables and only then go to the gathering of fishermen and boaters near the small chapel.
The fishermen often spend the days between their fishing trips in the protection of the island, especially if the weather is too rough to drive every night back to Kastelli. And they have to eat something so they have a grill placed on the terrace of the chapel, where they eat a part of their catch themselves. Costa has made manifest in recent days and weeks that it is a small social event, when he unceremoniously invited all lying in the bay boat crews also added. So we stumble into a real feast to which everyone has contributed something (we are only a bottle of red wine and some pretzels ...). There are lobster with spaghetti, grilled octopus, barracuda and Mediterranean nor any other grilled fish, ribs, salads and several bottles of this wine. Although we are already fed up when we arrive, we are compelled to try by all, at least. In the end we get even half a Barracuda and most of octopus for the next day on their way. Now we learn
also what it has with the rabbit up. One of the fishermen, who looks with his little gray curls, his beard and his powerful shoulders like a statue come to life Zeus, brings every now and then rabbits with small hand-reared on the island and exposes them here. Legal is probably not, the island is a nature reserve and the rabbits do mostly what they do best: eat and reproduce. The fisherman has so but an emergency supply for a rainy day and once a year he makes with the shotgun that the inventory does not take the upper hand and then moves with a boat full of roast rabbit home.
