Distance Run 53 Miles
We set off about 10am and almost immediately our
plotter showed that we had travelled 10,000 nautical miles in this boat.
Considering how long we have been living aboard (since Septembet 2004) that is
not a lot of miles compared to some who have accumulated a number of ocean
passages (eg an Atlantic crossing is 3000 nm alone) but we have
certainly visited many more places than some:-
 Notice that the sea is 1 to 2 kilometeres
deep near here ( the 1000 metre and 2000 metre contours on the
chart).
The wind was very light again and so we motored
most of the way again.
The gentle sea:-
 The Admiral on watch:-
 We are glad to have reached here. We have
crossed the Aegean and passed south along the south of the Greek
mainland. We will be sorry to leave Greece but we feel we have made some
progress at last and are getting ready to leave the eastern
Mediterranean.
