We left around 9 for Vathi breakfasting on porridge as

Several fishing boats were out motoring up and down

and every now and again a shout went up and a fishing

another two boats appeared and most of the spaces were

gone.  We covered 17.5 miles from Poros quay to Vathi

small harbour.  The water temperature is 20.7 degrees.

everywhere has taken on a different look and it looks
