Wednesday 16th to Saturday 19th September, Agios Kirykos, Ikaria
With no wind forecast, we headed north on the engine towards the Island of Ikaria some 27 miles away. Halfway, wind from the north east built and we completed the passage under sail, arriving in the little marina at Agios…
Monday 14th to Wednesday 16th, Scala Town Quay, Patmos
Just a couple of nights on the Town Quay. Unfortunately our favourite Taverna was fully booked on Monday night (and closed on Tuesday) so we indulged in a quick meal from our favourite backstreet gyro restaurant. A chance also to…
Sunday 13th to Monday 14th September, Livadi Geranou Anchorage, Patmos
A cautious 20 mile run north on the engine to fully test for leaks, particularly the coolant connections on the new calorifier, to a sheltered bay on Patmos. We didn’t venture ashore, although we suspect that the few people that…
Saturday 5th to Sunday 13th September, Lakki Marina
After a decent downwind sail following launch on Saturday morning, we tied up for a few days in Lakki Marina to catch up with various jobs, reprovision and investigate renewing our 5 year Greek Residency permit. Despite having the permit…
Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th September, Travel to Leros and launch
After nearly 5 weeks travelling round southern UK in Panda, and of course visiting George, the new Grandson, it was time to return to Greece. So this time a Jet2 flight from Bournemouth to Kos, a prearranged taxi transfer to…
Friday 17th to Monday 20th July, Moor and Dock boat yard and home
We motored the 7 miles north to enjoy our final anchorage in West Archangelos Bay, and an evening meal in its tavernas, the only building on the small island. With liftout scheduled for 8 on Saturday morning we awoke early…
Tuesday 14th to Friday 17th July, Lakki Marina
Mindful for the need of a new tender, we arranged 3 nights in Lakki Marina. On arriving, we were directed into the most difficult berth in the marina, being between 2 boats in the corner at right angles to each…
Monday 13th to Tuesday 14th July, Koulouki bay, Lakki, Leros
With the wind behind us, we had a decent sail from Lipsi to Lakki Harbour where we had a night at anchor just outside Lakki, by the pizza taverna, along with a dozen or so others. And a chance to…
Friday 10th to Monday 13th July, Lipsi Harbour wall
The strong northerly (north west also) Meltemi seems to be featuring in the forecasts for several days to come, so we opted to sit on the sheltered side of Lipsi harbour wall for 3 nights. We seem also to be…
Wednesday 8th to Friday 10th July, Papantria Cove, Lipsi
A couple of nights at anchor in the fairly sheltered Papantria Bay on the southern coast of Lipsi, sheltering from what now looks like permanent northerlies. On Thursday we took the dingy ashore and walked to Lipsi village and back…
