We had a very fast 30 mile passage from Kos to Astipalaia yesterday. The wind was 15 to 30 knots from the north so we sailed the entire way averaging 8 to 9 knots. The wind is supposed to stay strong until tomorrow so we are staying put today. Yesterday we hiked up to the old castle on top of the hill and had dinner at one of the restaurants overlooking the bay. Today we did a dive from the boat and just relaxed. The water is really clear in the bay and about 75 degrees. We have not done much diving in the Med this year because the water has been so cold. It is great to see that it is getting warmer. Hopefully we can do some more dives as we work out way to Malta.
Tomorrow we will leave very early and make the 50 mile trek to Ios. Jamie should feel right at home there since it has a reputation of being a naked island......
