Upon, leaving the canal we headed for our first Island of the east coast, Aegian. The weather was beautiful and with all the excitement I forgot to take some pictures. This island is popular with the people from Athens as it's not that far for them to travel.
Next morning we were off again. Some bad weather was predicted so we headed to a safe harbor for a night or two. Lavrio on the main land was our destination. We made it in record time and tied up for the night. We experienced 40 MPH winds for two days. We ended up staying for 3 nights, nothing to exciting but a great place to stop. Below is a picture of a few other boats that used the place to hide out.
We usually eat on board but in Greece this is hard since eating out can be cheaper than eating in. But the menu at this local place nearly put me off eating... :)
The weather cleared and we were off again, another island another day :) This time it was Kithnos. We had one hell of a trip... but at least the wind was from our back most of the day, but the last 2 hours was a beat into some of the steep waves that are famous here in Greece. We made in safe and sound... see below!! A picture from our morning walk.
In the morning we woke up and decided to go for a walk. As we rounded the corner we heard the guys below ... they have a very interesting control method. They tie their feet together to stop them from jumping fences and running away...
Our walk finished at a church. We stopped in for a little while to say a prayer and thank God for the help so far and perhaps for some more favorable winds :)
As previous... as soon as the weather gets nice we are on our way again. This time to Siros and then to Tinos. We are rushing a bit knowing that we have all next summer to slow down and enjoy the islands. We first stopped in Siros for lunch and a break then later we continued to Tinos for a good nights sleep.
