Overnight the wind went round such that we were being blown onto the
concrete quay – not a comfortable place to be. Fenders and our fender
board protected the boat but did not prevent a sleepless night. The day dawned
very foggy and the majority of the fleet seemed happy to stay put and take a
taxi to the evening’s barbeque. We definitely set a trend and our raft of three managed one by one to extricate
ourselves from the quay with some old fashioned line handling to warp the boats
out far enough to be able to get underway safely. Fog, very similar to the Edinburgh Haar, appears a regular feature of
this coast and we disappeared into it for the 2nm trip to the Dinner ashore was a barbeque provided by a beach taverna –
simple and robust! |
