Lotus-eaters

In the Odyssey, Odysseus and his crew landed at the island of the Lotus-eaters. Once there, many of his men ate a meal of the lotus plant and fell under a spell. They stopped caring about leaving or even getting back to their land of Ithaca. Marathon is the mythical land of Lotus-eaters.
The harbor at Marathon is well protected and efficiently run by the city. The harbor also has room for those who want to anchor out too. The amenities provided by the city are excellent and the price is good too! Your days start cool then become sunny and warm filled with lots of entertainment that a busy harbor can provide. The people and businesses of Marathon are boater friendly and almost everything that you might need is within walking distant. They have a pot-luck on Wed. an impromptu musical get together on Sat. down by the water under the tiki hut. The morning cruiser net gives information to anyone who wants to listen. The water is filled with every type of boat from derelict boat bums to 60foot gold plated beauties and all seem to get along well. To top it off, they are dog friendly, and encourage you to stay for a day, a month or a year. I’m trying hard not to eat of the Lotus plant but,,, Oh boy does it ever look good!
