[Rhodes22-list] Sailing the Med part dux (as in Ducks)

[Richard Beytagh]

I would stick to the eastern shore of the straits rather than risk
the ravenous undersea monster Charybdis that could swallow Enosis whole.
Worst case with the six headed Scylla only one of your crew will be snapped
up! I sailed through the straits several years ago and you can't help but
imagine all those things happening to Odysseus. We didn't see any monsters,
but the whirl-pools are still there.
