Day 2 - RYA Competent Crew

Mark Stevens

Short day due to weather conditions worsening. Some good wind, mostly beam reach. Took turns steering as well as tacking using the jib sail. Sindy was a little sea sick after going below deck to fill in log. Felt better after taking the helm and really enjoyed it. Rain came in just as we were docking, I picked up the lazy line with boat hook when docking stern on. We stayed in Syvota, nice well protected harbour, the harbour is difficult to spot as it is round a dog leg. Nice little pebble beach to the right, to the left was a very pretty harbour front, lots of shops, supermarkets, bars and restaurants. Far end of the harbour is an old olive press turned into a bar, restaurant and ice cream place, very nice.
