ASTYPALEIA - IOS

Log : 60,4 NM
Wind : N 1 - 2 Bf
Weather : sun and clouds 21 ºC

We left Astypaleia early in the morning, because today it's a long trip.
There isn't much wind so our engine had to help us out.

We didn't reach the harbour before darkness, so we experienced a beautifull sunset at sea.

At 1900h local time we moored in the harbour of Ios.
There are 3 sailingyachts on the quay today.

Afterwards we again had a nice diner, at the Niotissa Meze-Meze taverna (right behind the yachtquay).

NISYROS - ASTYPALEIA  

Log : 42,3 NM
Wind : NNW 5 Bf
Weather : sunny 22 ºC  

After breakfast, we left Pali at 1030h.  

The sea was pretty rough and we had a sharp reach towards Astypaleia.
It wasn't ideal that the waves were kicking in on the side of our ship, it wasn't comfortable at all.
So we had a few seasick people on board.

After a fast sail we arrived in Skala on Astypaleia at 1700h.
We moored in the new yachtharbour.  

At night we had a nice dinner at the Maistrali-taverna,
eating out in Greece is still cheap, we payed ca. 17 Euro pro person (incl. starters, main course, small dessert, beers, wine, etc.).

At 1500h we checked-in our yacht, a Bavaria 50 'Aiolos'.  

We left Kardamena at 15.30h.

There was a nice wind blowing, so we had a fast broad reach towards Nisyros.  
At 17.15h we dropped anchor in the small harbour of Pali.
There are 4 yachts moored in the harbour.

In the evening we had a tasty Greek-dinner at the Aphrodite-taverna.
