点评:Since 2007 we have spent a total of 315 weeks sailing the Med. We have many fond memories of places, food, wine and experiences. However, without question the strongest memories involve some of the most amazing people that we have met.
Yesterday was another example of human nature at it’s best. We are in Pilos, the tender outboard is low on petrol and the nearest gas station is 10km away. My wife went across to NS Boat Rentals to see if we could buy a couple of litres of petrol from them. Georgios not only filled our outboard but refused to take any money for the fuel. We had come ashore to pick up a guest and 3 people and a large bag was going to be a squeeze into the dinghy. Georgios offered to take our guest and bag out to our boat and once again refused to take any money.
In a world dominated by a media which consistently feeds us all the things wrong with humanity it is people like Georgios who remind us that there are also people who restore our faith in humanity.
Thanks Georgios; really appreciated – the fuel, the taxi ride and most of all your generosity!

昨天再次展现了人性的极致。我们在皮洛斯,小艇的舷外发动机快没油了,最近的加油站也在10公里外。我妻子去了NS Boat Rentals,想看看能不能从他们那里买几升汽油。Georgios不仅给我们的舷外发动机加满了油,还拒绝收油费。我们上岸是为了接一位客人和三个人,一个大包要塞进小艇里。Georgios主动提出把我们的客人和包送到我们的船上,但再次拒绝收钱。
在这个被媒体主导、不断向我们灌输人性种种弊端的世界里,正是像乔治斯这样的人提醒我们,也有一些人让我们重拾了对人性的信心。
谢谢乔治斯;非常感谢——感谢你的油费、出租车费,以及最重要的慷慨!
