11:30    Load of washing on. Depart Syvota for Sayaidha. Motor sail in lights winds on a SB reach. 7kns dropped to less than 4 so sails down, engine on. 13:30    Anchored off the village of Sayaidha in 0.9m depth below keel. We went ashore and walked a couple of kilometres into the village. Laid back compared to the busy tourists strips elsewhere. Came back and went for a swim, all the while tracking the French open final. We viewed the last set at a taverna ashore - good work Alcaraz. Then watched the Pakis blow it against India in their T20 match. That evening went ashore to a taverna at the marina quay for a good Greek meal and local Greek wine.

The marina was too shallow for Westralia so we anchored just outside, 0.9m of water below keel. Nice spot off the heavy tourist trail.
