21/05/2012 Paleo TRIKERI - VOLOS

Wind : SE 1-2 Bf
Weather : Cloudy / Temp. ca.20 °C.
Log : 15,3 NM

In the morning we took a short walk to the Monastery on Paleo Trikeri,
the church & monastery are a beautifull place.

At 11.15h we left Paleo Trikeri.
The weather is cloudy and there isn't much wind,
but we decided to sail the entire way (ca.15 NM) to Volos.
So it was a slow sail.

At 1520h we arrived in Volos.

The people from the yachtagency welcomed us and helped us with
berthing on the quay.

So it was an evening of packing our stuff and afterwards having a nice diner.

The check-out went swift and everything was OK,
"Silver" (Bavaria 41) is a nice yacht, in perfect condition and well
equipped and maintained.

Att.
A picture of the replica of the legendary ship the "Argo" (trireme) on
which Jason and his Argonauts went on an search to find the Golden
Fleece.
According to ancient mythology, Jason left from the acient city of
Iolkos, which now is called Volos.
