Monday 10 September
Olympic Marina - Lavrion - still

Matt and Heather arrived safely and by 3.30 p.m. on Friday afternoon in time for the wind to really start to pick up and by Sunday it was blowing up to nearly 30knts - force 6/7 gusting 8 - so too windy for us to go anywhere. But the sun is still shining and it is plus 25 degrees.

 

Visited Lavrio on Saturday for a frappé and lunch and on Sunday afternoon Matt & Heather got out the bikes to find a beach, which they did and it helped make up for not being able to go anywhere.

 

Today we decided to visit Athens and the Acropolis and went by taxi to the metro and the metro into the centre -  and then had to stop for coffee before we climbed up to the Acropolis.  Fortunately the wind, although nowhere near as strong, had come with us and made the 29 degrees bearable.  Really pleased we made the effort although I was slightly more in awe of the whole of Athens sprawling around us.  

At the Acropolis

Back on Sequel relaxing and then one more day of wind forecast for tomorrow before we can set off to our first stop on Wednesday which is a small island only 25 nautical miles away called Kea.
