Friday 22 June
Olympic Marina, Lavrio

We stayed five nights at anchor in the end in Poros as those sailing boats didnt decide to leave that pontoon until this morning - when we left too. And the water held out.  

View from the beach

The first three hours of our crossing were good and then at about midday the wind kicked in and after that it was very much a 'Gordy' situation with the spray going right over the top of the boat to the aft deck.  We are now safely in the marina but it is still blowing (5.45. p.m. here) at about force 6 and the Captain is disgruntled - it is his turn after all. Not least because somehow the black water tank is coming back up into the engine room - the Captain has changed his name to the T(h)urd Man. I think it has to be time to come home now!  

Leaving Poros Friday a.m.

Sequel comes out of the water on Tuesday 26 and we fly home on Wednesday.  We are looking forward to coming home although we have had many reports of bad weather. Despite the howling gale here it is still hot.
