Sunday 23rd – leaving Palon

This is a real sleepy little port. Which is why I was surprised when a policeman wanted to check all our papers yesterday evening, same as on the last ‘boys’ trip except this time we were legal 🤞. A quiet night meant we were all lazy risers this morning. Our anticipation of fresh croissants from the bakery fell far short of expectations as the baker was clearly not very good at his craft. Finally after last minute swims we made a very smooth exit, without anyone asking for payment. Apparently they only come by once a day.

It was a very leisurely sail across to Knidos in Turkey. Not being in a hurry we moved at a snails pace until the wind finally picked up. Extended games of ‘I spy’ kept the kids amused. Really hot today so a breeze welcome. Technically we should not be in Turkey whilst still checked into Greece but will take a chance on that. At least I remembered to take down the Greek flag!
