Saturday 30th May to Monday 1st June, Meloi Bay, Patmos

Tuesday 26th to Saturday 30th May, Skala, Patmos
Yet another sailing day across from Arkoi for 10 miles to Skala on Patmos. With quite a cross wind onto the main harbour wall when we arrived we opted to go side-to on the pontoon at the head of the…
Sunday 24th to Tuesday 26th May, Arkoi
Yet another great sail westward in the northerly winds 18 miles across to the small island of Arkoi (Arki) (pop 45). We’d been here last autumn and had to anchor in a neighbouring bay as the small harbour wall was…
