Tuesday 14th to Thursday 16th October, Alinda Bay, Leros

After the noisy town quay of Lakki, Greek youths racing on motorbikes and honking car horns and chatting loudly till 2am, we needed somewhere a bit quieter. So we anchored off Alinda on the east coast of Leros, sheltered from…

Friday 10th to Tuesday 14th October, Lakki, Leros

Yet another windy weekend forecast so we sheltered stern to, on the Town Quay in Lakki. What a strange place, Lakki isn’t a bit like any other Greek town we’ve encountered, it’s architecture is a mixture of Italian Art Deco…

Thursday 9th to Friday 10th October, Xirokampos Bay, Leros

Sunday 5th to Tuesday 7th October, Lipsi

Fortunately we managed to get onto the ‘sheltered’ side of the main mole in Lipsi, although with the wind direction close to the harbour entrance, we still got significant swell bouncing inside the harbour making the 2 night stop noisy…

Tuesday 30th September to Wednesday 1st October, Port Stretto South Bay, Arkoi,

A good 3.25 hour downwind south easterly sail for the 20 miles to the island of Arkoi. We initially tried going stern-to on the village Quay, unfortunately the cross wind had other ideas, particularly given the restricted manoeuvring space in…

Monday 29th to Tuesday 30th September, Aspa Beach, Fournoi

Wednesday 24th to Monday 29th September, Ormos Marathokampou, Samos

Another down wind sail for 27 miles using just the genoa to the small managed marina at Ormos Marathokampou on the south side of Samos. Perhaps slightly expensive at €22 per night, but it did have lazy lines, offer free…
