Started with a swim in turquoise blue clear water - just lovely. Motored down to Lakki town for water and fuel and to collect a few things from the chandlers. This turned out to be a really emotional experience. Lakki is now home to a large number of immigrants - mostly displaced Syrians. The immigrant population now outnumbers the local Greek population. They have come over on small boats and are waiting for their papers to then travel on through Europe. They have to wait for a month for papers. In the meantime they are sleeping anywhere they can. There are virtually no facilities for them and little support. There are men, women, children, babies - all sleeping rough with virtually nothing and hoping for a new life somewhere away from the terrible problems in their own countries. These are well-educated people. The people we saw or spoke to were polite and were causing no issues. They were just quietly waiting to move on. Boredom was probably the biggest issue. No one would do this out of choice. In the day we were there 500 more arrived on the island and only 100 were taken off by ferry to go to Athens with the uncertainties of where they will go and what they will do next with their lives and families. I have no idea how these small islands dealing with this humanitarian problem will cope with the scale of it. On a lighter note we were joined again by Hugh and Cherry (S/Y Sulaire) for dinner on Barracuda. Think we need to have a quiet night tomorrow!
