We left Marathrocampos to head south thus postponing our plan to visit Fourni & Ikaria until later when the weather would be more accommodating.
It was a six hour / 24 mile passage south back to the famous “Keftededes” Taverna in Patmos. Noooooooooo! We hoped not to be here too long!
Aye well ………………. it was another 5 days before the weather let us continue to Lipsi and then only under two reefs in the main & genoa.
Sara & Brian , now in the water, had taken the opportunity to head down to Lipsi in the calm weather. We think Sara has lost confidence in the sailing and the boat and it will take a wee while to build it back up. In addition Pepper their dog is not doing too well and they are just keeping him as comfortable as possible until the sad inevitable decision will need to be taken, very sad.
We arranged to meet them at their boat in the harbour quay. They had booked Manolisis’ restaurant for the four of us.
It turned into an ouzo & retsina fest ending well past midnight with us walking back to Katsidia bay where we were anchored and Brian not remembering the latter stages of the night!
Louise was not very well the next day but still we managed the walk in to get water. I did point out the last time it happened was also on Lipsi and at her instigation. Perhaps a warning for the future! Lol.
Sleeping it off
Fishermen in the ouzo taverna of the night before and me in the distance with out water
That night we had dinner in Delilah’s Taverna in Katsidia bay. It’s a tad expensive but really good food and neither of us fancied the walk back into Lipsi town.
Delilah’s Taverna Katsadia bay. As you can see Louise on the peach tea but from memory she had wine later !
Ooft too much ouzo is lethal, but with retsina nooooooooooo. No wonder Lou was a tad under the weather. x
