39:12.024N 023:58.554E 27/06/12 We leave our lake about 08:30 and are immediately hit with a
North Easterly Force 7 Gusting
Force 8 Squall complete with driving rain. Not at all like the holiday brochures. After 45 minutes or
so of rock and roll most of it blows through and we have the wind and sea
behind us. We cruise down the East Coast of Alonnisos admiring the many
beautiful bays if only it were a good day for a swim. We stop in the main town
of Patitiri for internet and
supplies. We then go around the
bottom of the island to anchor in a bay under the town where Mamma Mia was
shot. Fortunately Piers Brosnam in
not there to serenade us. The anchoring turns out to be a bit of an
ordeal as there is a lot of sea weed and anchors don’t hold well in
seaweed. We are third time lucky
,the anchor bites and we put a
stern line ashore. The sun even
comes out. Vagelis chats with a
local fisherman who points out that there will be a lot of swell in the little
bay later as well as a possibility of Southern wind. So its up anchor again and
we’re off to find a better spot. We do indeed find a better spot near a
couple of disused fishing boat across on the island of Peristeri. The water is crystal clear and the
weather improves, and apart from an older couple with their grandchild we have
it to ourselves.
