Charter, Sail, Repeat: new ventures and old favorites in the Greek Isles
By Zuzana Prochazka
On our first day, we sailed southwest nearly 50 miles 011 a nice beam reach, winding through Kolpos Idras, or the Hydra Gulf. By the end, we were running out ______ daylight, so we pulled ___ the miniscule harbor on Spetses Island. I read the guides twice, but the most I got was a warning about tl1e inner harbor being only 4ft deep, which made me suck in my stomach as we crept in. The harbor turned ______ to be a mix of private yachts, commercial boats and fishing craft, and as we were looking round I happened to notice black clouds _____ the horizon. The wind was also now picking _______, so out we went again, making a U-turn back to the bay to drop anchor with the other cruisers who'd opted to skip the draft headaches. We made it just before the gale overtook us.

The Printing Press
If you asked a large number of people what the most important invention has been, many would say the printing press. Others might say the wheel. But even though it’s debatable whether the appearance of the printing press affects the course of history more than the wheel. The printing press ranks within the top two or three inventions in history. Long before the telephone, the TV, the radio and the computer, the written word was the only way to communicate ideas to people too far away to talk with. Until the sixth or seventh century, all books had to be written by hand. Creating a book was difficult, and in comparison with today, very few books existed. Therefore, very few people read books.”
