Thursday night we decided to have an early night. Well it did not turn out that way. We stopped at our friendly café for a beer and internet, and then went on to Demitras family tavern. Run by the proprieter and his children, all 8 of them. Back to saga via the internet café for some more passage weather and then further down the quay an ice cream. 01.30 Friday back on board.
Friday 11.00 we started to cast off. Somehow we had managed to catch another anchor and some ropes. I think this is a ploy by local divers to get you to use their services to untangle the spiders web of rope and chain in the channel. However some extreme yoga by our intrepid Captain hanging off the bow and a wasted 40 minutes got us untangled.
During Friday we managed a fair amount of sailing and have taken a northerly route through the islands. The sea was busy, with many ships and requires a sharp look out.
Sat 06.30 - The sun has just come up, and it looks like another great day. We will need to stop somewhere today for fuel as we have motored all night, and I believe we will then push on whilst the weather is favourable. I have no signal now on 3g so will post this a little later on.
