MILOS
POSITION 36:46.53N 24:29.08E
A 50 mile trek west today to Milos, home of the
Venus de Milo (and her arms allegedly), numerous pirates, another volcano but
this one not as inhospitable as Thira..... Left Ios early - 07.35 -
and had an uneventful sail (yes, sail - no motor) most of the way. Bright
sunshine, but we are noticing that the air temperature in the shade is dropping
and the wind definitely has a bit more of a cooler edge to it, the nights are
becoming dewy, damp and chilly. Highlights of the day - Bob's feeble
attempt to catch a fish (and those of you who have sailed with him, will know
that this is not his strong point !!), and a very close call with a local ferry
(quite a large one) that buzzed past us at a distant of about 30
feet. Arrived in Milos and anchored at Adhamas bay,
lovely large bay. Treated
ourselves to a session at the Internet shop, and a memorable meal at a local
restaurant overlooking the bay.
