Manganari – again!

Tedious, lumpy crossing into the wind and waves from Santorini to here on Monday 6^th and the wind has been gusting noisily ever since.  Sooner or later it will calm down a bit more although compared to a couple of weeks ago this is nothing.

The temperature has dropped considerably to the point where we are about to need a quilt on the bed and careful consideration is given to whether we want to eat dinner outside or inside.  We opt for outside as much as possible but it is getting close.

We leave tonight heading towards the island of Astiplana on our way to Bodrum to visit the maritime museum there.  It is about 60 miles so should take around 12 hours and will give us a chance to up our night sailing hours.

Todays big adventure is baking a cake in the pressure cooker.  Results will be reported in full in due course.
