Trying conditions today. Quickly had sails up after leaving Port. Two reefs in main and full genoa. Was getting along at 7 for a short while. Breeze came up further to 30-35. Reefed genoa. Waves became rough with confused swell. Gusts were very shifty. We got tacked from 50deg port. Tried a king back and forth a bit but swell and shifty gusts made getting into a groove impossible, averaging just 3. Motor on and ploughed into it. Unpleasant. Happy to pull in to Poros

Quite a swell today. Well actually two lots of significant swell creating a very confused sea for maybe half of this passage. Wind was very light and on the nose for most. Big squall came through with wind rising from 4-30knots in a couple of minutes. Squall brought torrential rain for about 30 mins

Very calm passage with <5 knots of wind. Calm seas. Wind from various directions. Saw some dolphins on the way. Christina O in this port. The original super yacht.

Wind from SE at 15-25. Big swell from SW. Some sets would have been 2-3m from trough to peak. Good sail averaging 5.5 for the passage

0-5 knots in the nose for most of the journey. Not the forecast beam reach I was hoping for.
