We are now back in Greece and this is a very beautiful place to start again.

A charming port policewoman came around once we were backed into the quay. I had to go to the office where I caused some confusion because officially my last port of call had been Tsarevo in Bulgaria. They are used to dealing with boats from Turkey but I had avoided checking back in there by only visiting Turkish places where they don't check your papers. Anyway after she had made a few phone calls I was told to go to Mitilini, the main town on Lesvos, to check in.

The main road......

We are now on our way to Mitilini to sort out the paperwork. Sailing clockwise around the island the scenery is stunning. This has to be one of the most beautiful islands in the Aegean.
