Got the drone out in the morning to get a few shots of Vathi whilst Amy and Diane went for a swim before we set off for the day. Our destination was the port of Kalamos on the Island of Kalamos. We set off and headed West towards Kalamos. Again the winds were very light in the morning so it was on power only. We headed straight for the Island towards a little beach I could see on the GPS, It turned out to be a lovely secluded spot and we had the whole beach to ourselves. We anchored up and spent a few hours laying on the beach and doing some snorkeling.
We were sad to leave our little beach but time was moving on so we set off but not before naming the beach Warburton Bay and headed towards the East side of Kalamos. As we rounded the southern tip the wind picked up so we were able to get the sails up. We ventured toward the West side of Kastos but there didn't seem to be much to see so steered back towards Kalamos and headed to Port Leone which was a deserted village. We dropped anchor in the bay and Diane and Amy took the tender to the village to have a look. There were a couple of abandoned buildings and a church. The village was sheltered from the wind and it was really hot.
On route to Kalamos the wind picked up again, we were running with the wind so this time we put out only the Genoa and we hit 6.8 knots on just that sail. On arrival in Kalamos space was limited so a couple of the boats were moored to the Quay and the rest were rafted to those. We are on the end end so we have to climb over all of the other boats to get to land. We ate that night in Georges which was our best meal so far of the holiday, we had Chicken Diablo, Pork Souvlaki and Grilled Chicken fillets and for pudding I had apple pie which was more like a cinnamon apple upside cake which was amazing. The meals have cost us around 50-80 Euros and we have eaten out most nights as its just far too hot to be cooking on the boat. There was very little wind last night so it was one of the hottest yet trying to sleep.
