The second attempt
What failed yesterday, to succeed today. Despite fashionable wind force 7, we risk a further attempt to Karpathos to come. First, we have no wind, but for the more wave. We engines for about 3 hours with plenty of rocking. Then finally built up enough wind to stop the engine. The waves are, interestingly, somewhat flat, or at least more evenly. We are getting really good. Only when we arrive on the coast of Karpathos, it is again interesting. Here violent squalls blow down the mountains. The wind indicator shows up to 43 knots. Bitzn, which is currently at the helm, has his hands full to keep the ship on course. The Port
Diafani, we have chosen for today, proves to be Entt # Subtlety. A place for sailing yachts seems intended not so right, it blows how stupid and some fishing boats that are in any kind of swing moorings, rather confused. Although we are all pretty tired and would like to arrive, we decide to move on in the capital Pigadia. The decision was good, because there we can, it is now almost 20 clock and we have been traveling for 12 hours, in a small boat harbor mooring, where we are very quiet and safe. We are the only sailing yacht, the port is mainly used by motor boats, as it looks. Another one of those half-finished EU-project for which nobody is really responsible, as it looks. But we are well received and have lots of helping hands to the mooring. Then go
We in the city for dinner and to celebrate birthday in Mark inside. We land in a nice bar with hard rock music, in the nice service issues are also a pitcher of watermelon juice, which led to the spontaneous Bitzn question: "You drink with one?" A sentence that replaces "to cheers" as a toast.
