Happy Halloween

No trick or treating here in Greece, so we hid candy on the boat and the kids had to find it with flashlights.   Halloween meets the Easter bunny.... Found some Greek gourds that worked as pumpkins, except that they start to rot faster than normal pumpkins - I was neurotically sniffing every corner of the boat until I finally found the source.  They also dyed our hands a curious orange - see Hugo's hand in second photo below. For costumes, the kids dressed as comedians and put on a show, see jokes at bottom.

Skeeker in her pumpkin costume.

She always scowls like that.

No pumpkins, but Greek gourds will work

 

Hugo's pumpkin: family on one side, boat on the other

Maggie's pumpkin:  "BOO" (with a heart over it!)

Instead of a ghost in a graveyard,

we had a ghost on a halyard

 

Ghosts flying around the cabin

(especially as we sailed in a good breeze)
