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.
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.
