Engine Failure Somewhere off Serifos
The Aegean cruise got underway properly. Before sunrise we set off towards the port of Adamas on the island of Milos (Greek: Μήλος). When the winds died down in the evening, the yacht sailed under engine. Off the island of Serifos, it decided to boil over…
Having drained all the coolant (a leak), the engine overheated and began to melt all sorts of hoses, clamps and other rubber and plastic parts. A thick, sweet white smoke spread through the saloon. After switching off the engine, we drifted on the sea, waiting for it to cool down. Once all the hoses were repaired, towards morning we improvised a workaround and fed fresh water from the yacht's tanks into the radiator.
In the port of Livadi on the island of Serifos we met a mechanic, who took a look at the engine. He said that if we kept topping it up with fresh water it would keep going for many more hours. From the island of Serifos we set off onward to Milos.

The Old Market Square in Łódź
As tends to happen at the end of the year, a little grumbling is in order. That Łódź is a different city from all the rest, I probably no longer need to prove to anyone. Sitting in front of my computer, I realised yet another fact that sets this place apart. We have no Old Market Square!
Foggy Wanderings Around Łódź
Some time ago I went on night-time wanderings around Łódź. The city seemed to me empty, sad and gloomy then. On a certain foggy evening I wanted to set out again and capture the beauty that Łódź hides somewhere within itself.
