After lunch we
partly sailed and mostly motored to Gocek where we thought we would try Skopea
Marina this time. We stayed at the Municipal 'marina' last time, and
although the moorings were fine, the loos and showers were a fair walk away and
cost 1 lire and 5 lire respectively each time you used them.
Skopea marina seemed
fine, although we were worried about being put near the ferry until it appeared
for the first time and turned out to be a quaint little old boat that was
pleasant to see crossing back and forth rather than a big, noisy, smelly fast
thing as we had feared.

Steve and Tom
decided their hair needed a trim so they sat on the crate on the pontoon to have
the clippers run over them. During this time we didn't realise until too
late that we were being eaten alive by mosquitoes. We later discovered the
probable source - a pool that was green with algae and looked as if it hadn't
been cleaned all season near to the pontoon head.
It was a quiet
mooring, however, reasonably priced and with clean loos and showers within a
short distance.
