    Tiny OT: I love this routine!

    Well, living in an island has its good things!
    At summer everything is done with a swimsuit on!

    So, today was one of the days of the summer where big problems emerge: which beach?

    We decided to go at Chalikounas beach (39°27'5.73"N - 19°52'35.09"E) : enormously big (that way always looks empty), not deep (so Nicholas can play safely in water), and a hot spot fir kite and wind syrfers (instead of seagulls there is a bunch of guys flying aroyund) !


    So, a quick check at the conditions...

    ...and preparations began!
    Nicholas brought the watch i was going to wear...

    After the inspection and approval by the authorities...

    the strap change took place (funny, isn't it? taking off the rubber band and placing the leather one to go to the sea? That Toshi is performing extremely well those last couple of years...)

    Love your post Pontz! I can totally relate with your experience; well sans the beer. Family, beach day and a great watch on; life can't get any better!
