POSITION 36:42.68N 25:17.53E
After a very disturbed sleep, waking to make sure
that the mooring lines hadn't chafed through from the buoy, we realised that we
hadn't actually eaten much the day before - not surprisingly ! So, after a
good old fry-up and a quick clean up, M headed off in the dinghy over to the
harbour (much calmer now) to pick up Stu & Beccs, who had spent the night in
a "hotel" next to the bus station ! We were so glad to see them, and
very grateful for all their invaluable help the night before.
All loaded on board, we set off towards the island of Ios - a relatively
short hop, only 25 or so miles, and a bit of a relaxing day now we had two extra
sailors on board who were keen to sail.... Before leaving, Bob
changed one of the fuel filters, but even so the engine decided to cough and
splutter a few times - fortunately, we had wind in our sails, so saved on
diesel, and sailed most of the way across to Ios. Anchored up for
the night, lit the barbecue, had a glass of wine or two, and spent a very rolly
night being buffeted by the waves into the bay.
