The last longish passage of the season today, just shy of 40 miles, it turned out, originally intending to pick up a buoy at Emborios on Kalymnos.
We managed 5 hours under sail to a waypoint just off Telendos, a big rocky island off the coast of Kalymnos with a channel between them leading to Emborious.
At 12:00 we were forced to put the engine on as the wind had now died and motored with a the full mainsail. It was a moderate sea but the motion had caused Slyvie on Syeni to be seasick.
Given the motion & direction of the swell we thought the buoys would not give a comfortable night so we decided to carry on to the south of Leros and anchor in Xerocambos.
I note from the log arrived at 16.00, 39.4 miles, 10 hours underway, 5 undersail.
Getting there……
