    We arrived here after our afternoon at Artipelag with the north wind dwindling as we entered this very sheltered inlet . By the time the anchor had been dropped and lifted a couple of times, we were both sweltering in the heat. Our attempt to tie up on the steep rock was successful, at least, and soon we were on the nets with a G&T cooling down.

    A gentle ripple of chat & laughter around the long inlet and the occasional plop from fishes could be heard in the otherwise total stillness. The local sheep popped by on their tracks around the watersedge before heading into the woods. So lovely to just sit , chat about our day & soak up the peacefulness .

    The following morning, we were up fairly early & took dinghy ashore to explore some of the large island.
    The towering rocks close by were a step too far for us to climb today, but we enjoyed following the handy sheep's trail around the woodlands. Such a beautiful anchorage just tied up to the rocks.
    The weather was improving every day, and it was showing over 26°.C . We decided it was time to move on or end up getting baked where we were, so we set off , meandering in the calm conditions.
