A pleasant sail most
of the way today, and Porto Koufo looked a nice anchorage - again almost
landlocked with a narrow entrance that couldn't be seen once inside.
However, anchoring proved to be a bit of an ordeal for two reasons - Chris error
and very deep water! We aborted the first two attempts when the anchor
chain appeared to be jammed. Chris checked the locker and the chain seemed
to be running free - then she realised she hadn't released the lock on the
windlass! Whoops! Didn't tell skipper till later! On the third
attempt the anchor didn't seem to bite properly, so we pulled it up. It
had a lot of mud on it though! Fourth time it went down and set
fine. We went ashore and had a look around, did a bit of very expensive
shopping in the 'supermarket' and decided to eat aboard - a very fine cheese and
ham omellete prepared and cooked by Scott-Free's very own Gordon Ramsey -
without the bad language of course!
