The fact that there is a little beach right next door to the marina makes the Captain and Admiral even more happy. More from Santorini later. Yassou (bye).
The marina turns out to be quite nice - until the meltemi winds once again, picked up.
Unfortunately, we went to anchor and our windlass died. That's the electric winch that pulls the anchor up. Fortunately we found this neat little marina where we will hang out for our stay on Santorini. Obviously, Jenée's happy.
Lots of classic wooden boats in Greece.
This is the main chora (village) of Thira and we'll tour by motorbike tomorrow.
Much to see here. This is a waterfront church in the northern village of Ammoudi.
In the early morning light, we arrive Santorini. This is probably the most famous and picturesque of the Greek Islands. Since we are on a schedule to get to Cyprus, we'll make this our last extended stop.
So we sailed around to the southwest corner of Syros and this harbor in Finikis (pronounced just like it's spelt). Just after this sunset we got restless and decided to sail overnight again to the Island of Thira (Santorini).
The famous Meltemi winds kept us in Milos longer than we planned. When the winds backed off a bit we sailed overnight north 50 miles to the island of Syros and main port of Emoupoli. Nightime is a better time to travel due to lower winds and we like nights. Our plan was to catch up with the other Jungle (the previous owner Peter from New Zealand and his new boat). Unfortunately they were no where to be found and this harbor wasn't very good. Meeting up on sailboats can be tricky - weather gets in the way.
Jenée took this shot of the main port town of Milos - Adamas. We really enjoyed our stay here and met Fatty Goodlander, editor for Cruising World. We picked up a couple of his books - an interesting character and life story. Very funny.
We caught a beautiful sunset from the top side of Milos.
The beaches all have these mini cabanas which are reasonable and handy. Not to mention lounge chair side service.
Milos (Mee-los) is of the Venus de Milos fame, the sculpture of the armless beautiful woman. Jenée looks nice too. But go back and check out my picture - see?!
You want swimsuit shots from Greece - you got it. I'm feeling kinda tingly! We toured Milos and found this beach. The sand is of course of a volcanic origin. The water is crystal clear and I look striking!
