With a F4/5 northerly forecast for the 20 mile run south to Kea, we were expecting a reasonable sail. However, the actual wind direction had other plans and was about F3 from the South, so we ended motoring in a very uncomfortable sea state, with a cauldron of waves hitting us from all directions. Five hours later we welcomed the tranquility of Vourkari Bay, where we anchored for the night along with lots of charter boats, who it seems are attracted to us, with 3 boats all ending up just a couple of boat lengths away! As we had spent several nights here back in June, we didn’t bother going ashore (very modern eateries hitting the Athens market).
