Ormos Klima (Nicolas Bay) Samos marina

We motored on to our new anchorage Klima Bay. Somehow it got the nickname of Nicolas Bay, I think because he likes it and goes there often.

Anyway, we had a night here and while cooking dinner, Hot Chicken, the gas ran out just as I was finished. Well the chicken was cooked but no rice so it was chicken and bread. Good though!

Next day we motored back to Pythagorion, Gordon rowed ashore, bought gas then sailed back to Klima Bay . Sailing up  Stenon (Straight) Samos between Turkey and Greece is nice, we had a SW wind and had the full Genoa out. Nice sail with a knot of tide, one of very few places where there is a bit of tide, seemingly it can get to 3 kts here. The distance from Samos to Turkey here is only one mile. There are a lot of abandoned lifejackets on the shore from the refugee crisis. We haven’t seen any.

Anyway, we had another night here on anchor but with winds from the south it was quite uncomfortable.  We moved up to Posidonia to have a look but the conditions were worse so back to Pythagorion, but we’re going into the marina.

Samos marina is nice, it’s about a ten minute walk from there to Pythagorion.

Nice to have the basics again……walk in shower! To be honest, I don’t miss this as much as Gordon, he goes to the shower and forgets to come back.  I miss electricity more, it’s great to be able to blow dry my hair with a hairdryer and not the wind while sitting on the coachroof and to be able to use my straightners.

This always calls for a night out to a nice restaurant while we are looking like normal people.
