Would you believe it the wind is going to go southerly again and quite a blow is expected, so its off across the almost 6 miles to Blefoutis Bay on Leros but not before I headed into Lipsi town to fill up our three 20 litre jerry cans with water.
A bit less luxurious than before but it did have it’s reward !
The water station Lipsi town
The “other” water station, Lipsi town.
Whilst here, just on the off chance, I tried a few fisherman type shops to see if I could get a replacement anode – to my surprise there is an actual boat chandlers just off the road we normally take in to town . We had been coming to Lipsi for years and didn’t know it was here, walking past it all the time !
AND they did have an anode, Great! I went under the boat in the nice clear water of Kouloura and fitted it. No immediate need to visit Lakki then.
Once back with the water and anode repair effected we headed off to Blefoutis.
Being so close we arrived first but, as expected more boats arrived later in the day to join us sheltering from the forecasted weather.
“Looks nice & clear to me skipper “
“Oh! Oh !”
“Have you seen them?”
“Oi are you listening to me?”
New arrivals
and more
and the weather did change
After the storm we walked up to an old Italian General’s Mansion – now dilapidated and used by a goatherd to house his goats. Its all kitted out inside like a byre. Very comfy – if you are a goat – the herder also has a wee camp bed.
Almost there
The building is now the preserve of goats
We also tramped down then back up up to the winery only to find it closed for the season – only a barrel of empty bottles !!!!! Not impressed. LOL
The “non” winery
Full now in the anchorage -view from up the hill.
