Friday 26th September

Woke up to find a lovely day and so we had a lazy morning at anchor, ran the
generator and did several loads of washing. Sarah and Jo went for a long
swim and then after lunch we set off for Paxos island. As we raised the
anchor a Sailing Holidays boat motored past us and Sarah spotted that it was
being driven by Ken, a former member of the Viking Afloat staff. We caught
them up and had a chat before we continued on our way.

Wind got up during the trip and before long we were romping along at 9 knots
in a steady 15 to 20 knots of wind. Cracking sail across to Paxos and we
were quite sorry to arrive and have to drop the sails. Tried a spot of
fishing but we were sailing too fast for the lures we have, so had to
abandon the idea.

Motored into Gaios harbour to find it largely empty which was quite eerie.
Sarah took Jo on a tour of the town, which was largely closed for some
reason.

Had a few pre dinner drinks on board and then went to Pan & Theo's
restaurant where we had a great meal and more wine which pretty much did for
both of the girls!
