Turtles to Octopus 🐙

Becca

It was an early start. 4.30am: I jumped as a loud bang came from the anchor locker/bow. I woke Chris (again).. it’s a good job first mate can multitask, sleeping and on anchor watch at the same time 🫢 Coincidently, the boat next to us was almost on the rocks, their anchor could have slipped and may have been crossed over ours 😬 Today, we are heading to Kastos! Our final island before we sail back to the mainland. The wind is looking great, so we get out into the bay, quickly put the sails up and get going. I helmed pretty much all the way, we left several boats for dead with perfectly trimmed sails by our skipper CJJ ✌🏼 We sailed all the way into the bay, before tucking ourselves into the corner of the abandoned town. We explored the church, swam and made friends with the local octopus 🐙 We’ve decided we are going to move up to kalamos town to be safely tied on and can have a full nights sleep 😴

Relaxed start, with a pre-breakfast paddleboard to the edge of the bay to investigate conditions. It seems windy out there! We had breakfast and then Becca took us out of the bay with Paul taking over on the lines. We sailed at every point of sail, round the bottom of Kastos and to abandoned Port Leone. It’s quite exposed here, there’s a strong breeze, but it’s shallow and we’ve got 20+ metres down with a line to shore. Happy days 🤩 Lunch here and some research about where to spend the night, our original planned spot looks exposed and it would be lovely to sleep through the night 😂
