I’m off to Gozo for the week-end with Christine, my sister and her husband. So posting the shot I intended to post tomorrow today. The weather is not very promising but it will have to do.
One more shot of the front boats lined along the pontoons. I loved all the Rolex flags fluttering in the wind. In the foreground you can see an old cannon sunk in the rocks – in colonial times this and others like it along coastal areas was used to tie navy boats/warships that sheltered in Maltese harbours.
Joke: A terrible skipper was going back and forth through the anchorage, searching for a place to drop the hook before dark. Looking up to heaven he said, "Lord take pity on me. If you find me a good spot, I will donate to charity, give up the demon rum, treat women with respect, pay my taxes, and never again give my crew all of the blame and none of the glory!"
Miraculously, the boat with the best spot in the bay began pulling up anchor to leave.
The skipper looked up again and said, "Never mind, I found one myself."
Green manure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In agriculture, green manure is created by leaving uprooted or mown crop parts to wither on a field so that they serve as a mulch and soil amendment.[1] The plants used for green manure are often cover crops grown primarily for this purpose. Typically, they are ploughed under and incorporated into the soil while green or shortly after flowering. Green manure is commonly associated with organic farming and can play an important role in sustainable annual cropping systems.
Lovely capture have a great week-end.
