OK: So after a welcome long lie, we set off again for Limni at 11:00 in relative calm hopeful of getting in, if there is an available place.
At 13:00 however out of nowhere a NE 24 knots wind appeared . Not much sense in trying Limni harbour as we could see white horses kicking up in the Katabatic. Waypoint 2
OK: So alter course to Loutra Adhipso. Waypoint 3
At 14:30 wind completely disappeared – very frustrating
At 15:40 while anchored at Loutra Adhipso the wind starts building again, and a very stormy overcast sky. No longer tenable to remain at anchor here.
OK: So off to Livada beach which gets a good report on Navily. Waypoint 4
We found the exact spot recommended and anchored but……..it’s no good !
At 17:30 in an unconformable NE 17 knots, no protection and swell we set off again, now heading across to the mainland to Kamena Vourla which looked protected but rather deep but hey ho , here we go, again !
I am now beginning to dislike the Evia Chanel.
Finally at 19:30 we are anchored off the beach of what looks like a busy Greek tourist resort, Waypoint 5
On lifting the anchor the next day the 40 metres of chain was absolutely fine – not only the anchor but the actual chain was caked !
Phew!
