• Kea - Vourkari

    July 23, 2024 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 29 °C

    Leaving early as Eric woke with the fresh breeze and had ants in his pants so we headed up to Kea. Good wind to start as we crossed the channel but once in the lea of Kea it was a motor sail.
    After a quick look at Kavia bay we decided to head on to Poisses. We dropped anchor, set up the sun shade and settled down for the night and then the wind picked up! Good job we weren't ashore as the anchor started to drag as the wind started gusting 30knts! So we headed off again and 3rd time lucky we settled in Vourkari. Dinner on board and hopefully a peaceful sleep. Just as we settled down a fire broke out on the shore behind us. Very impressed with local fire services, bikes within minutes with extinguishers shortly followed by fire truck! Under control very quickly , we were feeling safe in the middle of the sea.Read more
