Having had a good
night's sleep we were both awake bright and early the next day, so we pulled up
the anchor and set off around the coast for the main town of the island,
arriving in Myrina in time for lunch. The harbour wall was full with what
appeared to be charter boats, so we anchored off the beach. As a new
breakwater had been built since the Pilot was published in 2007, the harbour was
very well protected. We swam from the boat and decided it was so nice here
we would spend another day.
We spent the next
day exploring the town, shopping for supplies, and drinking iced coffee in a
waterfront taverna. In the evening we went ashore and ate a pleasant meal
in another waterfront taverna, this time looking out over the harbour where our
lovely boat stood out a class above the rest - well ok we're prepared to accept
we may be a little biased...

We
were glad we decided to stay another day - sometimes we forget to slow down and
stop moving, if only briefly! We liked
Limnos.
