Day 66 under lockdown. Further easing ahead.

Going to the beach and swimming allowed.

It seems that in Greece, the infections and deaths due to the Coronavirus have stabilized and the hospitals have things under control. It doesn't mean that we are less at risk of getting sick, just that the medical system can handle the patients that arrive at their doors. We still need to be careful when in potentially crowded situations. 

The government has been easing restrictions for the past couple of weeks. We no longer need to report on our movements and gatherings of up to ten people are allowed (not that I do that). The beaches, the museums, and archeological sights are open once again. On May 25th, the restaurants and cafes will once again open.

Day sailing is now allowed for boats less than 12 metres. You must not go on land anywhere else and return to your regular harbour for the night. Perhaps it's time to fit the sails back on Eidos? Check the anchor and chain? There is some talk of letting people travel between the islands as of May 25th. Since I've paid for the marina until the end of May, this is where I'll be staying, but it looks like I might be leaving June 1st. So, where will I go next? Stay tuned.
