Methoni also had a ruined fort with a Turkish tower tight on the headland, we didn’t walk round this feeling we had done enough forts for while. Then today after some more research and emails we are still no closer to figuring out what we will do for the winter or where we will get the boat surveyed. We need to do this to be able to renew the insurance next January. However we have made a plan for the next few days, there are some higher winds sweeping in so we had to plan or risk being stranded without adequate shelter, that said with our luck it will either be early late or not arrive, that’s my preferred option, so we are spending tonight in Koroni. Guess what? Yes it has a ruined fort this one we did go and walk around there are a few houses inside the walks but it is mostly occupied by a monastery for John the Baptist. Tomorrow we head to Kalamata, a real marina, where we hope to be able to find Gluten free bread, if not I will use their electric to bake some. From there to, I think it is called Limeni and the Diros caves then Porto Kaylo and that’s enough of that because as all seafarers know plans are made to be broken, probably by the weather.Читать далее
