What are the two things wrong with this wing map, nickel? But I am glad that it is useful for colleagues.

There are two mistakes in the original: ΤΡΑΜΟΥΝΤΑΝΑΣ instead of ΤΡΑΜΟΥΝΤΑΝΑ and ΠΟΥΝΕΝΤΗΣ instead of ΠΟΥΝΕΝΤΕΣ.

Κι ο Σορόκος συνήθως Σιρόκος δεν λέγεται, ή κάνω λάθος;

I found a note on wikipedia:- Ο σιρόκος ή σορόκος είναι άνεμος της Μεσογείου, ο οποίος δημιουργείται στις ερήμους νότια της Μεσογείου (Σαχάρα και Μέση Ανατολή). Thanks to nickel for his precise observation.

Ναι, λέγεται και έτσι και αλλιώς, αλλά έχουμε και τη σοροκάδα, π.χ. εκεί: https://ebooks.edu.gr/ebooks/v/html...chnias_G-Lykeiou_html-empl/index_b_17_01.html ή εδώ:


Τη νύχτα σου 'πα στο καμπούνι μια ιστορία,
την ίδια που όλοι οι ναυτικοί λένε στη ράδα,
τα μάτια σου τα κυβερνούσε σοροκάδα
κι όλο μουρμούριζες βραχνά: «Φάλτσο η πορεία...»

Ενώ η σιροκάδα είναι πιο σπάνια.

Πολύ λίγο σχετικό αλλά νοσταλγικό: Ποιος θυμάται τον Δυσσέα Πουνέντε από το "Ημερολόγιο ενός θυρωρού";

Does Όχι σε δικό μου μπλουζάκι! mean that’s not what’s written on my t-shirt?

It means that the spelling ΠΟΥΝΕΝΤΗΣ would not normally appear on a T-shirt where the wording would be of my own choice (though, on the other hand, I've nothing against ΣΙΡΟΚΟΣ).

I will answer more fully tomorrow, when I have digested all this excellent material! I only mentioned ‘the afternoon wind’ because those were the identical words used by our skipper. When I asked in ignorance if it was the meltemi, which he the informed me occurred later in the year, he replied that it wasn’t: it was the south-westerly afternoon wind. I think that he must have answered that it was γαρμπής (apologies for the misspelling!).

Just to add to that that meltemi is a seasonal phenomenon of northern winds, the wind would still be described as a northerly one. Don’t confuse the names of the winds with the name of the phenomenon (although it is often used interchangeably).
