With a F5/6 northerly, and with well reefed sails we had a very fast, 30 mile beam reach sail to Poros. At one point the plotter flashed up a record 8.9 knots. We then spent 8 nights in and around…

It was dead calm as we motored out of Poros bay, round the top of Methana and across to the mainland at New Epidavros for a couple of nights stern to on the harbour wall. It was also the opportunity…

This is another of our favourites in this part of Greece so we anchored here for 3 nights, enjoying 3 different tavernas and interesting walks and spotted the resident turtle on a couple of occasions.

A change of scenery was needed, with no wind, a 10m motor to anchor alone in a bay a mile south of Vathi on Methana. Crystal clear (and warm) water tempted both of us in for a swim and snorkel.

We were hoping for a brisk broad reach sail for the 20 miles across to Sounion Bay, but unfortunately the 15 to 25 kt wind was too close to the bow and with a moderate sea we managed to sail…
