Dodecanese

We said good bye to the Cyclades island group and hello to the Dodecanese group with stops at Nisos Astipalia and Nisos Tilos. A ripping 58 nautical mile romp with speeds topping 7.9 in the gust up and then a variable 53 nm ride motor sailing along under bright blue skies and warm temperatures.
Safe arrival at N. Tilos. And in great time. Sailing on Dec. 2nd is very unusual, however the dreaded Meltemi is much less this time of year and the percentage of calms is the greatest in Nov. and Dec.
N. Tilos is one of the least visited of the Greek islands, and thereby one of the most unspoiled. Very friendly folks here. Dinner ashore of goat, delicious.
