Well we are still on anchor in the same spot, the new dinghy, electric motor and platform certainly make going ashore less of an ordeal even though the dinghy itself is a bit larger than expected. In hindsight perhaps we should’ve gone for a 230 instead of a 250. But we are both delighted with it no matter.
Today we took it to the opposite side of the bay from the quay and set off on a walk over to Ormos Platy.
We had anchored here two years back, again a very pretty outlook only marred by the occasional speedboat from the Mark Warner resort towing couches past with screaming occupants, but all that ceased at 17:00 when the beach closed and it was then idyllic.
We hadn’t managed ashore back then hence the reason we wanted to walk over and explore a bit.
Some nice boutique hotels in the resort and have to say even the Mark Warner resort was OK. We had a walk around, pretending we were just other Brit holiday makers. Think both our bodies are now past Surf, Sail & Cycling – well who knows!

& harbour breakwater peeking out
Ormos Platy – the MW resort is at the far end
Our anchor spot at the other end had been just about in the lighter shallow patch behind Louise’s right shoulder
A deserted beach in the bay- where’s “Wilson” & Tom Hanks ?
Think I would like a house on Lemnos, for a wee while anyway. It has a nice atmosphere and not overly touristy, probably as a result of its geographical situation quite far out in the Aegean.
The game changer
On the way back another dinghy had joined us & tied up to our tree – the cheek of that!
