One of my favorites

Today I arrived at one of my favorite places: Porto Augusta on Arki.

We will spend at least 2 nights to enjoy the lovely tavernas here.

Definitely too hot for May

Today it feels like 33 degrees in Kos Marina.

Therefore I decided spontaneously to sail to Palionissos as the wind turned to SE, which will get me there easily.

As I am singlehanded underway, there is no chance of getting the Parasailor out. So it's been a nice opportunity to challenge my autopilot to keep course with a butterfly sail setup.

Tomorrow afternoon it looks like the wind will change back to north, so it should be a nice sail back to Kos to be there on time to pick up Claudia from the airport.

I did it again

Like every season I had to return to my favorite mooring: Palionissos on Kalymnos Island.

Almost alone with the hearty hospitality of Nomiki and Christos this is the perfect spot to enjoy and relax.

And as every years I had to fix some electronic issues at the taverna as well.

Lots of room

For my first trip of the season I sailed to the little harbour of Paloi at the vulcanic island of Nisyros.

In high season this harbour is packed by boats every day, but now just very view sailing boats moor here and enjoy the tranquility of this place.

Surprisingly all the tavernas are already open, so I will find something to eat.

Season starts

Just in time for Greek Eastern this weekend Lady Soul is back to her designated mooring spot.

With great weather the season can start now.

Last catch of the season

Today we sail from Pothia/Kalymnos back to Kos Marina. It with be the last sail of the season as I finally will fly home on Wednesday.

It is quite challenging sailing with winds up to 31 knots.

While on a broad reach with a speed of approximately 7 knots the fishing rod started off. We were not able due to the wind conditions to bring in the fishing line for about an hour.

Surprisingly the fish was still on the hook when we finally had a chance to wind the rod up.

So we will have a nice dinner again with self caught fish. I am quite sure that George at Psarovarka will prepare the tuna nicely tonight.

Catch of the day

We had a nice downwind sail today to Leros marina.

Shortly after leaving Patmos harbour this morning a 1.3 kg Tuna went on the hooks.

Before we went into the bay of Lakki there was another one on the rod but we didn't manage to get it in.

But 1.3 kilos are quite enough for tonight.
