Tinos to Ikaria

In the morning the weather was perfect to face the long 65 NM to Ikiria. This would be the longest distance we had left to do in one day. The day started out great and by mid afternoon we were doing a steady 6.7Knots which would cut down the time greatly. We had planned to be able to do 5 !! We tied up in Ikaria a little late as Joseph likes to slow down in the evenings to try and catch some fish. No luck !!!
 
In the morning I took some pictures to show the spot we found. The locals were fantastic. Not sure we would have taken this spot without their help. A mooring had been laid for a larger fishing vessel that was no longer in the port ... so a nice spot for us because there was a lot of wind coming...
Before we left a local fisherman stopped by and gave us a bag of oranges to thank us for visiting his Island ... they were quite tasty! The people in Greece are as kind as the people in Portugal. They always will help if they can and are really genuine with their kindness!
