Leaving Turkey and Back to Greece

We left Datca on Tuesday morning, intending to stop the night at Cnidos and go on to Kos the next day, but Cnidos was already busy at mid-day so we decided to go directly to Kos. We even had a bit of wind on the beam for the crossing so got the main up for the first time for two weeks, though we were still motor-sailing to keep above 2 knots.

We arrived at Kos marina at tea-time and were put on the outside quay, which bears the brunt of the North wind, but has a terrific view and breathtaking sunsets.

Despite all the no fishing signs a priest came down two or three times a day religiously to pursue his calling

Becky and Andrew arrive with Kai and Charlie tonight, with force 4 winds forecast for the next week - and we have to go up to windward - a good introduction to sailing for 8 month old Charlie
