Entry: Fantasy Island Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/fantasy_island#33795 Post contents: This past weekend, while racing in a friend's boat, he asked me why I had named my boat the Nausicaa. I told him the story of Odysseus and the princess at the river- the most charming in all of Homer - and added that the name probably means "beautiful little boat" in Homeric Greek. Perhaps Taki can answer this philological question. In any case, the name is a constant reminder of the beautiful Ionian islands. By the way, is it true that Odysseus was washed ashore at Paleocastrizza? The site is supposed to be spectacular. Sent at: 2008 12 01
