We find ourselves in Crete in June. Of course we meant to be with the actual Snork Maiden, sailing off the French Atlantic coast by now. Instead we are experiencing the Cretan Summer, although an odd one. The weather is cooler than is usual for the season – temperature in the mid 20s with a West wind, sometimes quite strong, mainly in the afternoons. The colour palette of the olive groves and meadows has changed from yellow and pink to white and blue and the whole landscape has a paler quality. Even the insects are different. The cicadas are there, apparently in ones and twos with no night noises yet, and even the mosquitoes are holding back.
