Anchored in SW west bay of Agistri Island. Winds strengthened to plus 20knts, but only occasionally more than 60 degrees to the bow. So we had a good motor sail for most of the way, up to 9kns SOG. A lot of sail adjustment as the wind strength and angle varied. Generally a good day. Low visibility due to the ash clouds from the bushfires near Athens. Huge amount of ash deposited every where, on and in the boat. Will be a big clean up job when the boat clears the contamination zone and/or they put the fires out. Swim, sparkly/beer. We motored to the nearby small taverna for dinner. Managed to isolate the fridge problem to a faulty thermostat on the electronic controller. Have organised a refrigeration technician for afternoon 19th July at Zea marina near Piraeus.
