I should make one contribution to this sailing log book as we have enjoyed this our 8th season with Kaliope more than any other... Because we have no electrics I can't feedback much in the way of statistics, boat speed, distances etc... We have sailed 3 times a week this year and since June in our summer harbour of Platanias 5 minutes from home. We have only day sailed our intention to make a passage to Alonyssos did not come off. But our afternoon sails from Platanias out towards Evia or upwind to Skiathos have been wonderful. Kathryn who started off sailing under sufferance now is the one to say, 'do you fancy a sail' or 'I think we should put a reef in' or better still ' can we put the genoa out and go a bit faster'. Yesterday we sailed to Mouse Island and checked on my old Garmin 72 and saw it is 6nm from Platanias. F4 fading away to nothing much at all by early evening. As we sail with our visitors at our rental cottage, it is interesting to note that this year we have sailed with visitors from, UK, Greece, France, Morocco, Belgium, Germany, Holland, Germany, Israel, Macedonia, Romania... and still to come Slovakia, Bosnia ... I think that's it... (Kaliope never works commercially just takes visitors out for fun days, picnics and adventures).....
Enjoy the rest of your season wherever you are, Kaliope and friends.....
