Anchor watch in 39-knot winds

Marty/overcast and rain
Friday May 20, 2016

Photo: Fishing boat in Diros harbor near the entrance for the caves. It was dawn but these lights provided great reference points during the windy night.

Before leaving kalamata at 1225 we removed our #3 working jib. An earlier repair on the leech is starting to tear again. In its place we put up the heavy weather jib. We sailed 32 miles to Dirosa, a small village on the east side of the Gulf of Messiniakos. Good winds although variable and variable amounts of rain until it became steady. Winds out of the east. Harbor open to the west.

Nothing is here except a campground with small caravans and the ticket office and museum for the famous caves. We hoped for a visit in the morning. Had a nice meal of fresh Pandora and then watched a great movie Tangerines.

Around 0030 the wind begins to pick up and blows in gusts down the mountain - 20 knots at first and escalating all night to a max of 39 knots. Paul and I kept anchor watch facilitated by the lights on shore. Our anchor held!
