Chartering tourists googled pictures of Greece. Azure waters, square white houses wearing bougainvilleas on their shoulders stashing next to semi-arid Mediterranean brush. For six years all that is postcard perfect this sail went to. Like an algorithm blindly seeking the beautiful grated into the banal by short-term needs and degraded attention spans. Sometimes satisfying a Google search is not enough, sometimes.
