We stayed a few more days in Myrini. It’s getting unbearably hot now most days it’s over 40+ degrees.
On Friday 7th July we had a long hot motor around to Moudhros and anchored in the cove off Fanaraki beach. The water was lovely in the heat.

The next day, Saturday we moved around to Moudhros harbour but decided to anchor outside that night because the harbour would be stiflingly hot. We will have to venture in though.
The next day we moved into the harbour initially on the outside but later squeezed into our usual spot on the inside when it became available. Pakkis, Litza & Jimmy his pal were there as well. Pakkis is a keen calamari fisherman we met the last time here & he comes in his boat from Xios every year to dive for them but the hot weather is making them scarce, so he is cutting his visit short this year

We spent 10 days in Moudhros & slightly under the weather for part of it. What is it with Moudhros ?? Lily got her long awaited shore leave but was not able to really take advantage of it and spent most of her days under the dinghy on the deck of another boat.
We hired a car for a few days and scooted around the island visiting favourite haunts and a bit of house hunting. In the past we had been to see the famous sand dunes but weren’t impressed mainly because what we had mistakenly taken for them was just a beach ! This time we actually found them.

We discovered a really nice taverna on the opposite side of the bay while we were investigating the harbour at Nea Koutali. Brian & Sara had arrived in Myrina so we picked them up and took them there as well.

It was lovely to meet up with Pakis, Litza & Jimmy and Irini the wee girl from the pizzeria has had a new baby, Panagiotis.
I do like Moudhros, but on 20th July we said goodbye to all and hope to see them in Xios, their home island, later in the season, who knows?
