On 1st August we motored 11 Nmiles to the Island of Arki with Imogen helming most of the way.

We anchored in deep water going stern to the vertical rocks in a bay  off the tiny islet of Makronis.

Pat heroically clambered up the rocks, spiking himself on a sea urchin--- poor thing – and tied us to the shore.

 

We swam for a few hours enjoying the superb clear water before having to move because the anchor wasn't holding well enough for an overnight stay. We motored around to an adjacent bay  on the other side of Makronis for the evening, a BBQ --- enjoying star gazing in the light pollution free skies and a calm overnight at anchor.
