This place, Vathi, is one our all-time favourites. I hung-out here for few days 3 years ago when going t'other way. As we entered Sue said "We've been here before and ate in that taverna over there". Couldn't wait to check-out our old log-book and fair enough, Sue & I did drop hook here 8 years ago when we brought our previous yacht across to Turkiye! I have to admit not realising this when I was last here though but with Sue's prompt...... I do remember now!
We are thinking we'll stay here few days, maybe move further East on Friday, when the winds pick-up bit stronger (again). "Be careful what yeahs wish for" comes to mind because we don't want to encourage any 'orrible winds to haunt us!
The 6516kHz net has come back to life. It never actually 'died' but got near to it when s/y Feisty & s/y Lulu arrived at their winter destination Brindisi (Italy). Yesterday morning several yachties chatted and this morning (which isn't a net-day anyway) s/y's Blue Velvet, Sondella, Quest & Ticketeeboo had a good chin-wag.
We have 27ºC and the seawater is an inviting 25ºC and the wind's hovering between 10 & 18kn after making it's way over the hillsides. Planning to take RIB ashore this afternoon for a mid-late afternoon 'dinner'. Of recent, we've been enjoying a scoff during the afternoon and sometimes missing an evening meal completely. We don't miss-out on our evening vino-plonko or G&T's though.
Love to F,S,J&P and S,T,R&M xxxxx
