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.
