The next day dawned bright and sunny but the forecast was for a repeat of the previous day, with more strong winds. Having had our paws burned, we, along with most of the boats in our flotilla, went no further than the short hop down from George´s taverna to the Vathi town quay.
We waited for the winds to blow up again, but nothing happened. There was hardly a breath of wind in the air and our next picture shows how still and calm it was.
You´d have though we were sitting by the edge of a lake, not the sea. Still it was a lovely day for relaxing, going for a walk and swimming and we made the most of all these opportunities.
We also made sure that we´d got all our postcards written, after which George and Yorkie went in search of a post box.
I also made sure we used this down time to practise our safety drill, and make sure any further big waves or heeling of the boat wouldn´t send us overboard.
The safety harnesses worked to perfection and kept us safe and all together.
All too soon it was evening and time to plan the next day's sailing.
Lots of love, Eddie, George and Yorkie xxx

A welcome calm after the storm no doubt! Eddie looks like he has the safety drill finely tuned!
