DIARY PAGE 11th SEPTEMBER
2007.
PALEOKASTRO POSITION 36:29.04N
23:03.08E
Left Milos early morning (stupid o'clock) and by
mid-afternoon we were really sailing !! Bob had set up his fishing line
earlier in the afternoon, and just after 1600hrs he had a bite !!!
Unfortunately, he was no where near it, and after much shouting from Stu the
line was running out like crazy, and by the time Bob got to it and took it out
of the harness, the rod snapped clean in half .... oh dear, another one that got
away ??! When we reached Neapolis the following day, the man in the
fishing tackle shop said that it was probably a tuna .... We were making
for the island of Kithera which was to be our last island before touching the
mainland of the Peloponnese, but with the wind rising to force 6 and the engine
playing up, along with darkness falling, Stu did a nifty bit of sailing into the
tiny, windy harbour in the dark only to find that it wasn't possible to moor
there - so at 22.30 we were off again !! We headed north towards the
mainland, another nine miles on. After quite an eventful trip,
we found another tiny harbour with a bit more shelter, at just gone 0100, we
moored alongside and opened the bar !
