My first days in Malta, after leaving a ship at the container port, were in the pretty nearby fishing town of Marsaxlokk. Though it was December, the weather was warm and you can see the delightful ambiance that awaited me at my, originally, unplanned Mediterranean port of call. Sometimes Fate is the very best travel agent.

Maybe the simple truth is that the world is full of blue boats.
More blue boats…..I believe I’m seeing a trend, here, PM.
Do you dream of blue boats?
The real question is more like “why are boats painted blue in so many places?” In Venice we found that the UPS boat, which surely should have been brown, was bright blue with a UPS-brown rudder!
Beautiful spot, PortMoresby, one of our favorites. Great place for seafood too…
