Today the plan is to head west to Ormos Marina, Marathocampos were we will meet up again with Nicolas. He has been there a while now and has settled into the social life and BBQ’s that seem a plenty. Its a windy spot with savage katabatic winds but a new Greek owner Aris has bought part of the harbour , kicked out the fishing boats and installed good facilities – so should be OK – we will see what the prices are now – before it was free.
21 or so miles to the western end of Samos
Spying on the locals
Passage between the small island of Samiopoula and the mainland with Marathocampos in the distance up the hill & Ormos marina on the shore below. You can see why it’s windy with that big lump of mountain behind it !
We have also arranged for Ton & Corrina (the owners of “Another Day in Paradise” ) to visit us tomorrow which we are looking forward to being able to meet up this year.
Berthed at Ormos Marina
We plan to stay here until the 25th April to allow us to pick up a replacement cat tracker being brought out from the UK by one of our friends Mark whose boat is in Samos Marina. We will hire a car to go back to the marina and stock up at Lidl. Who knows we may even visit Zen in Samos town for lunch.
Thereafter the plan is wait for some southerlies to push us up north to Xios.
