Poros to Meyisti


15.00 Sat 23rd May

A little sailing, a little motoring. We are just off the island of Kos. Our course for the next few hours will see us threading our way through the surrounding islands in the direction of Rhodos. It has been a calm day so far. Our stomachs are full, and I am sure that we will all take a short nap over the next few hours.

18.00 Lovely afternoon. 18 knots of wind on the beam. The yanmar diesel faithfully pursues her target of port. The sea is calm and we should make port early tomorrow morning. We have seen a few yachts, ferries and a number of cargo vessels. We are running along the Turkish coast about a mile inside Turkish waters, but will soon leave them as we head towards our next Target, Rhodos. We expect to pass Rhodos around 23.00.

20.30. We have just finished supper. Tried for a signal, but alas none. Will try later near Rhodos.

Sunday 10.00 We have just reached Meyisti or Kastelorizo. This is the last of the Greek Islands. We plan to stay here 1 day and then, God willing, take SAGA staight to Beirut.
