25th April 2018

Its a month since we launched Josephine and we are anchored in the Bay on the island of Milos!
    there are not many boats about see below.



 This is the town quay and usually full has only 3 boats on the outside and the inside usually full of tripper boats in almost empty.
    Last night we were on the island Serifos and saw more boats than we have since leaving the Poros area that was 4 of which we were one!! So no wind today so we motored from Serifos to here basics needed that is water and gas for cooking we are low on both. Every week-end since launching we have had to hide/shelter from storm force winds so if that is the case this week-end we shall be safe here. We plan to spend the rest of the week here exploring the bay and its many anchorages.

    Well swimming it is very cold that is the water I have been swimming twice once intentionally and once I fell in off the plank in Poros with a café full of witnesses!!! handbag shopping and all soaking.


 Note bandage we had nothing smaller on board till I went to the chemist which I promptly did no real damage just my pride had until then never fallen off the plank.
     So after Poros off to the Cyclades Kithnos the 1st island another week-end in Loutra sheltering from wind the off to Syros and Finikas and then a favourite Paros we anchored in the large bay on the north coast and I enjoyed some planed swimming in crystal clear cold water and we went walking on the headland.

In the for ground is Little Joe our tender and in the distance Josephine not a great photo sorry.

From the small Greek theatre over looking the bay.



The lighthouse looking out to sea whilst on our walk. We then moved to a bay on the west side of Paros for the week-end and again the quay was empty and there was only one yacht in the anchorage with us, it is early season but there are usually more boats around where are they all hiding. 
   We plan to move towards the Peloponnisos Peninsula next week.
