We are a

​t ​
Patmos
​ island,​
one of the most
fanciest​
islands i Greece
​, they say. Maybe!? Very beautiful sceneries for sure.​

The Meltemi is angry and will increase tonight

​ (24 August)​
. The
​w​
ind is about
​ blowing at ​
8​
 Beaufort
​ sometimes,​
which means
​you ​
don't 
​want​
 
​to be ​
out there
​.

Everybody is

​, almost, are seeking shelter. ​
We are happy to be in here
​.​

One sailing boat left in the morning, five young guys and one young girl, we all wisch them well and safe sailing but they are young and tuff

​, probably ​
looking for challenges.

We arrived Friday 21 and planned to stay for three days but because of the Meltemi we

​ decided ​to stay a bit longer, just 
to be safe. 

It's a beautiful island and we have

​had ​
great sailing neighbours, Lydia and Danny, from Italy
​, ​a German couple, Australiens, Italiens, Swiss ... It's a very busy harbour.

​BY ​
scooter we have explored most of the island
​ (it's not that big).​

​At the moment (yesterday) ​
we are
​safe in t​
he deck house,
​having, a 
late
​, ​
small dinner!!!
​ Outside the wind is blowing hard​, making strange 
noices. 

Inside and outside the boat is covered with

​dust.​
 
​I​
t's going to be quite a job to clean up
​our​
lady.  

It's a

​very ​
good atmosphere here in this small harbour but when the big ships arrive all of us, on small sailing boats are terriferied specielly if it's a boat from Turkey!! 

Sad to say, but they are not good seamen.

​And t
hen of course we have all the
​charter​
 boats
​ ....​
 

Tomorrow

​it's time to ​
leave
​, ​next island will be
 Ikaria
​. Not to many go there. What we know is that they live extremely long on this particular island. 
Interesting
​.​


That's Cora over there. 









Yes we are moored down there.
