Weather details in this app are sooooo wrong. Started with 6-8kts on the stern for 90 minutes or so averaging 3.5kts, then had a great beam reach all the way to Yenifoça with gusts to 23kts and a steady 18-20.   Juliet helmed in the windy sections and we hit 8.5kts top speed, averaging 5.3 for the day. Anchorage is so nice and Bademli village is fun.

Long day motoring, up Chios channel. Sailed on a starboard tack out from channel to open bay with 10-13kts of wind. Then motored with side swell, waiting for wind and direction for a close hauled sailing. Finally wind to 25kts, messy seas, but had already packed sails away. Great anchorage. Nice to be back except for the pirate boats, happy they have gone.
Should have gone to Foça in hindsight and come up here tomorrow. Next time.

Lovely morning sail, wind built to 18kts, 2 reefs in main to start, shook one reef out and cruised to beyond Alacati where we hit 26/7 kts AWA. 
Furled jib and dropped main as we were near Chios straight then……
On the nose for over 2 hours 20-24kts short sharp seas to 1.5m, urgggggghhhhh……..
Crew did not like it either did I!
Made it to Kara Ada again less busy 2 other boats and both of us knackered. 

Good run downwind and beam reach to anchorage. Winds to 20kts.spent 3 nights here. Wind gusts to 30kts overnight and during the day.

Motor, sail, motor, sail…….long day and got caught out in the Chios channel. Many boats coming downwind under jib alone, not us, full main and full jib. Had to furl
main in 1m and 22kts. Gust to 25kts near Kara Ada.
