Nice, relaxing family trip with the girls post A-level stress - decided to be unambitious and stay in our neighbourhood.  Uneventful launch in Partheni, Em and I motored to Lakki where Kat was waiting with the car, did the usual provisioning, then off to Lipsoi the next day.  2 nights at anchor and 2 in port where we hung with Kat’s old friend Nadia and. Group of her sailing buddies.  Then up to Arkoi via a swim stop at the “white island”, we anchored for two nights - disturbed only by an 100’ gulet called “performance fee” 🤮 right up next to us for much of the day.   Then over to Patmos ahead of a rising Meltemi.  First 2 lovely nights at anchor off Vagia beach, then a stressful and draining anchor in 20+ knots crosswind - took 4 attempts and later a further 2!   After a nice tour day we set off in a lovely downwind sail back to Leros, where we anchored for a night in Xerocampos in the south.  Then to Lakk for furling, and a final anchorage just outside the port with poor holding and lots of swells. Then back to Partheni the next morning for haul-out and clean.
