Agia Marina to Adamantas, Milos

Kevin Hahn

Left before sunrise for the long voyage to Milos. Plenty of traff8c rounding last finger of the Peloponese. Light following wind, motoring with genoa at times. AWA stopped working yesterday. Pain at times. Alternated engines hourly until 15nm to go. Nice breeze for close haul and both motors. 6.2 kts. Made it to Milos at Sunset. Anchored near entrance, all good until a 4am thunderstorm and driving rain. Pulled up anchor and motored near centre of the bay until squall passed. Lost my chart plotter cover in squall! Jax did well with lifting anchor and keeping things dry! Showered and made our way to Adamantas main anchorage. Great spot and good holding with good protection from strong NE wind. Tomorrow very strong winds starting for most of the day. Will have to sit tight for another day!
