For Rachel and
Alan's last day we planned a lunchtime stop in Stafylos Bay for swimming and
snorkelling, then on to Skiathos Town for packing and then a meal out at Taverna
Agnadio overlooking the bay.
As we started to
pull up the anchor warp, the guy on the boat next to us gave us a sheepish grin,
and when we arrived at the anchor we found out why- he had laid his anchor chain
over ours - and obviously knew he'd done it! He did at least have the
decency to row out in his dinghy and help us get unhooked and to apologise, so
he wasn't all bad. That is now three times we've had anchor problems here
and although we would like it to be the last, we doubt very much that it will
be!
We arrived in
Stafylos Bay by 12:30,dropped the anchor and went snorkelling. The sea was
almost flat and the water very clear, and we saw some fishes and R & A saw a
baby octopus, but there is not a great deal to see in Mediterranean
waters.

After a leisurely lunch we set off again for Skiathos
