Petreti, Corfu: Painting the Boats; Greek Flags, Egyptian Fishermen; Simadoures

Painting the boats:

An old style Sunday outing to a real working Greek island fishing harbour- but the fishermen turned out to Egyptians who seem to live on the boats, and they spoke only a little Greek. They use simadoures, a kind of buoy with a long stick, with plastic sheets attached to catch the wind and mark the position of the fishing nets: an Egyptian practice?
