Left Kos 2ish Sunday afternoon after discovering
Kos to be the most 'bike friendly' island so far, cycled around Kos Town on an
amazing network of cycle paths along with hundreds of people (most of whom
looked dubiously unfit!) who were on hire bikes. A strong West wind (22-25
knots) blew us around the end of the Bodrum peninsular and into a bay called
Ilkicik Koyu (back to Turkey again) where we anchored in the bay, just in time
to watch the evening aerobics session in Italian at a nearby
Hotel, as the evening went on the entertainment hotted up as the Italian Saga
crowd bopped to a pretty awful female Italian singer who blasted out popular
Italian classics (they must have all been deaf as it was deafening out at sea!),
then the French Hotel next door started in competition with an Elvis type
impersonator! The French and Italian over 60's sure know how to enjoy
themselves. The entertainment re-started during breakfast as
aerobics on the jetties to Rod Stewart took place. Hard as it was to tear
away from all this fun, we set sail 11ish in a good strong North West wind
(14-17 knots) and 6 hours later we arrived on the island (Greek) of
Nisos Agathonisi, not undiscovered as 3 yachts were already there, so
avoided the tiny fishing village and moored in a nearby
bay. After a walk up the hill to the tiny uninspiring village decided not
worth exploring on bikes so off to Samos tomorrow.
