Dropped off S&G, picked up S&S.

Skiathos

Left Skopelos 11.15. headed for Skiathos, flot are off to Steni Valla, but crew change tomorrow, we are off home and Shanika and Sudinna are arriving tomorrow to take over from us. Free swinging, but found a lovely restaurant,  lovely meal and wine, back to boat via G ferrying us 1 by 1 on dinghy!
We flew out at 12.30 the others arrived on the plane we flew out on so that worked well for a crew change!

Skopelos - rest day

Stayed in today wandered around the town light lunch and a bit of bar hopping!!

Skopelos

Very early start 8.30 as John wanted to catch the wind before it died down at lunchtime, missed briefing, got the sails up but the genoa furling line had got tangled and we got into a bit of difficulty, very strong winds, G put on life jacket, clipped onto boat and went and sorted it out when we found a patch of calm water, turned out crew radio wasn't working, so we couldn't warn the rest of the flot!! Got sails in and motored the rest of the way extremely bumpy journey we were glad it was only a short one got to Skopelos town at lunch time, strong drinks required and lovely lunch, cocktails with rest of the flot in the evening.

Koukounaries

Left Kouk 9.50 after a really good nights sleep, and sorting out the badly netted anchor with the help once again of Patch! Heading to, Nea Klima on, Skopolos Island where Mama Mia was filmed, saw some more dolphins. Had a light late lunch, relaxing on deck with a drink. Topped up the water.

  

Ahilo

Left Ahilo, no breakfast early start en route to Koukounaries Bay. After a lunch stop we saw a school of dolphins, calves as well, at Nickolaos. Had to raft out on the beach, Elaine and I got a lift with Patch to the harbour, then walked to the restaurant, fab meal and met the crew on way back and the lovely Patch took us back to the boat.

Orei

After all checks went to supermarket and stocked up! Left Orei 11:50. Had lunch at a little bay, bacon sarnies and a few beers. Got to Athilo and headed for the bar.
