Leaving Port Atheni we headed east in initially light winds towards the NE of Kalamos island. En route the wind picked up to 20kts with squalls over 30kts on the nose as we approached the channel between Kalamos and the mainland. Later found out we lost the solar panel attached to the top of the bimini in one of the squalls. 

Rounding Kalamos we headed for the southern side of Katsos eventually finding a sheltered anchorage at the beautiful Parasonisi beach not far from Katsos harbour. We dropped 40m chain in 6m water and found good holding in the strong winds. 

Later on we motored back up Katsos and across to Kalamos harbour where we moored stern-to with anchor. With not enough space to lay sufficient anchor in a straight line, we pulled in, attached lines and kept the boat in gear as George, the defacto harbour master, took our anchor into his boat and ran it at an angle across and out the mouth of the harbour. Thankfully the strong wind on our stern made the manoeuvre easier.
