A good sail in
strengthening winds due W and back to the mainland. A short stop for lunch and a
swim at a bay at the S end of Makronisos, then a quick reach across to the bay
at Sounion with the drmatic Temple of Poseidon on top of the
headland.
The Meltemi
has now reached full strength with gusts over 30kn and the anchorage has regular
bullets charging down on us. Terry and I both managed to get good holding as we
watch boats all around us dragging their anchors. The winds too strong,
considering our crew, to get back to Athens for a few days until the wind
moderates, so we'll park here and enjoy the views.
Fortunately
the swimming is good and a few good restaurants tucked in the corner of the bay
means we're not suffering too much...
