    Early start
    Arriving in Poros2Fouled Prop!1Job done - plastic cut off!The ferry taking our sprayhood for repairs for 1 euro, cheaper than a stamp!2Just leave it on the steps said the ferryman!

    Poros here we come

    July 24, 2024 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    Up early and set sail at 6am as the sun was rising. A lumpy start but after an hour we hoisted the sails and had a fab sail across to Poros - 48 miles. A quick swim stop in the bay before going on the wall for the night, highlighted we had picked up a bail of plastic on the Prop at some point as we entered the harbour! We dropped anchor and luckily Eric managed to cut it off, before we headed into dock and needed reverse.
    Once moored up we set about finding a sail repair shop to mend our sprayhood which is disintegrating with the sun each day! For 1 euro we sent it off on a car ferry across the bay on its own to the repair shop - what could possible go wrong?!! Come back tomorrow to find out!🙈
