The wind was wild at times over the last few days in Kalymnos Harbour but all was well.  The wind direction was such that we decided to travel due west towards the island of Levitha rather than south west to Astipalia.  The wind was light so it was on with the iron sail (the engine) again.  We reached Levitha by 2pm so decided to make up for lost time and carry on to the island of Amorgos arriving about 7.30pm.
 
We did not go ashore but here are a couple of photographs taken a year or so ago when we were last here.  They show the Monastery which is built against the sheer cliff face of the island's south coast:-
