Small world... We met a lovely couple from Hayling Island last night who are into their 3rd summer season in Greece and navigating the reverse of our route. Around mid-morning, having received some great top tips from our new friends on the areas we are about to venture into (Giles & Lesley - thanks again, and hope to see you again late August) we set off from Githion. Our anchor seemed to have picked up some of the harbour bed, but with some ingenuity, Jonathan thankfully managed to release it and we were off!
The water was lovely and calm today, giving a completely different perspective on yesterday's experience! We are heading to Nisos Elafonisos where we plan to anchor is a beautiful white sand beach bay, ready for an early dawn departure on Friday to round Cape Maleas and on to Monemvasia.
Apparently 3G is minimal on Elafonisos so the next blog entry may not be until later In the day on Friday!
