I could get used to this.  Early morning swim next to our ruins again, leisurely breakfast and a quiet harbour.  We all eased into the day in various ways with everyone very relaxed, all teenagers in a good mood (wow).   The biggest challenge was getting the pontoon water and electricity to work.  Technology does not seem to be a Greek strongpoint.    Had a visit from Craig who had been sorting out a mechanical problem on his boat.

After replenishing our water and washing down the boat – always great to get a fresh start – I decided to compete with the gigantic ferry and leave simultaneously.  Greek ferries come in all shapes and sizes, but the high speed catamarans are extremely impressive, can turn on a tickey and can get up to something like 40 knots speed.

No wind – sea like glass today – so we motored around the top of Skopolos Island and down the east coast, pulling in next to a small headland with a church on top – spectacular location and used for the wedding in Mama Mia so plenty of tourists around now. Went ashore and climbed the extremely steep steps to the church – wow. Very beautiful setting but church services could only have attracted the very fittest parishioners which would explain why it is not big inside!

After a lunch, swimming and snorkelling we dragged the teenagers back on board and headed down the coast past Skopolos town which did not interest us (too busy) en route to the island of Alonnisos.
