Was Homer color blind? He talks about the \u2018wine dark\u2019 seas of the Aegean, and they are dark colored. It\u2019s just that the color is a very dark blue\u2026\u2026<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a> I do mean dark blue. The wake of the boat churns up the water and makes it look greener, but if not churned up it is a deep navy blue (can\u2019t call it a Duke blue). And the only way to travel between the islands is this JetBoat\u2014- $\"\"$ <\/a> As you can see, it\u2019s a sort of jet propelled catamaran. And it can flat fly across the top of the water. Normal ferry time from Mykonos to Santorini\u2014 5 hours. This puppy can do it in 2!! Like wow. <\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s super smooth, it\u2019s air conditioned. It has a nice little deli bar, clean bath rooms, and super comfortable chairs. It takes cars, trucks and people. And it is the only way to go island to island. It even beats flying if you are island hopping because flying involves\u2014 Mykonos to Athens, and then Athens to Santorini, with rare exceptions. <\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
