High seas and windy!
17 August 2013 | Porto Kalamos

We had an early start as we were all awake because of the strong winds, so we were all up and ready by 7am. We left cliff bay nice and early to set off to go to Nisos Kalamos. We pulled up the anchor and let the rope free from the shore and went into the high winds and very rough sea. We were straight into a swell of over a metre and the bow of the boat was slamming down and at times going under the water bringing a huge amounts of salty spray over us sat in the cockpit.
It took us 2 and a half hours to get in to the harbour and Nige said that me and Jazz had to get us in so I took the tiller and steered us into the harbour but it was harder then i thought!
It was difficult as there were boats coming out and we had to judge the angle to go in to keep away from the boats and the rocks. The wind was also pushing us against the stone mole.
When we were all settled in the harbour we set of to the beach close by, walking there was tiring as it was mostly up hill and by far the hottest day yet. We were all going to go for a swim but Jazz was in there the longest as I thought it was quite cold and Nige was refreshed. After the beach we went to a bar called Georges to have a nice drink and to chill out ready for dinner later.
