Question – why is the slope from shore to water in a marina called a slipway?


The buses in Crete are more like coaches and are “almost” reliable.  As our intention to buy a car is still "work in progress" we are using the buses almost daily.

Today we returned to Agios Nikolaos for a day on a sandy beach right by the marina – the town has various beaches that are all quite different.  A nearby LED display confirmed the temperate as 27c.  As the picture of Alan having a swim shows it was a still wave free day.



On leaving the beach to walk to the bus Alan complained about the amount of sand in his Crocs so decided to paddle in the shallow water at the end of the marina.

We now know it is called a slipway because he did..... Luckily his money dried quickly so we could enjoy an ice cream whilst waiting for his shorts to dry enough to sit on the bus.
