Kalymnos to Pserimos

08 April 2018


We left port at 10.30ish and sailed very slowly towards Pserimos, the wind was changable and very light. On arrival at the little harbour town, we motored in slowly, the quay was taken up by fishing boats and the suitable anchorage area a little small and with underground cables to negotiate we decided to backtrack to the little island of Plati. We have been here before on a lunch stopover, on that occasion there were a number of tripper boats around. This time no one so we anchored in the little cove on the east side next to the wee church. ( A candle was glowing all night) Lovely bright blue water, with big sand patches great for anchoring. As the wind is pretty much none existent tonight we think we will be ok overnight.
