We havn't moved from our place in the harbour since we arrived on Saturday.We are berthed on the quay with anchor and stern lines and happillly the anchor is well dug in. The Meltemi has blown non stop for five days between 25 and 45 knots. Myrnia is not the worst place to be but after a while the wind gets you down. We rented a car for three days and have explored the Island. what there is to see is difficult to find and usually shut! Swimming and sunbathing is good and the town is quite lively with about a dozen yachts waiting with us. A mixed bag of Swiss, Dutch,Austrian,German,Turkish and Greek. We have been watching the football and for a change England are still in the competition!
The forcast looks good for Tomorrow so we will check out of Limnos and Greece tonight and set off early for the Island of Bozcaada for the night and check in to Turkey.
We then sail through the Dardanelles and the sea of Marmara hoping to arrive at Setur Yalova Marina, which is a ferry ride to Istanbul, on the 25th. Yalova is half the price of Atakoy marina and we will move over to Atakoy on the 3rd of July ready to pick up Dave and Ania for our trip into the Black Sea.
