Thursday 18  Motor to Kalamos for quick shop on around N tip of Kalamos and good fetch across to anchor in  inlet of Port Atheni on Meganisi 16nm

Sunny and warm!

Hot ashore Kalamos. Pick up good breeze as beat out of sound to N of Kalamos and able to fetch Meganisi on stbd. Find good space on N side of inlet leading to Port Atheni. Cross wind so lay loads of chain. Good diving playtime. Others arrive to windward and make real hash of getting in and first line ashore. J&J ashore to recy village of Katomeri, recommended by Astra. Steep climb, worth it. Lots of locals. Very Greek Enjoy beers at Tobolos Bar.The menu tells us Panos was  known as a reveller and a business mind, transformed the house (built in 1700) into a bar/shop at 1947. When he died the bar passed to Antonis.”When he died too the bar sealed up, fall in oblivion and the street in front desolated. With strong winds and  thunderstorms and the like the sea who never stop on moving the time passed. The years brought as in today and now the Antonis grandsons, Antonis and Kosta, revived the past days, opening again the bar, giving it the name Toboles. Thanks a lot traveler and farwell.”
