Our Greek correspondent, Dimitris Savidis, forwards us some pics from a March visit to a beach near Mt. Pelion in central Greece. Looking at the first pic, you think you are seeing a display for a local windsurfing shop - some older, yet nice boards. I think Scott Spreen just scoured the Southeast looking for an F2 Ride similar to the top one. Hey, Scott, did you look here?

And then, driving past, you see the other side. At first, you let out a quiet whimper and, then, you begin to cry a little inside. I don't know about you but those boards are better newer than the ones I sail. Some things are beyond understanding.

Despite the nippy March temps in Greece, Dimitri gave the beach a go. It's a very pretty beach and yeah, that's snow on the mountains in the background. Two things you really can't find in Atlanta without driving 5 hours or getting on a jet.

On the other hand, I don't think this fishing boat is going to win any bass tournaments. In Georgia, you need to hang at least 200 hp off the back to prevent shame and embarrassment at the local boat ramp.

Of course, someone may point out that this isn't the best of economic times for Greece. Indeed, things are very tough there. However, other places are enjoying better times, like North Dakota. I guess I might need to reconsider things and move Grand Forks up my windsurfing wish list. Should it go above or below El Yaque? Decisions, decisions.
