Somewhere safe to pick up crew

Karystos before the Meltemi arrives
The forecasts are now showing a strong Meltemi blowing for days! We need to find shelter from the north and it needs to be somewhere that Nev and Daph can get to from Athens. We decide on Karystos. We know the harbour and there are short ferry journeys to Marmari with a bus onto Karystos. We spend the night at an anchorage in the bay south of the town - it's hard to believe what is forecast - the morning dawns absolutely calm and I swim before breakfast then we head in, get a place on the quay and prepare for the wind to arrive.
