Symi life

Fishermen come into the harbour early in the morning and sell their catch on the dockside. Very picturesque.

A peaceful day with a morning walk to the beach and some serious sun therapy and swimming.

The afternoon was part siesta and part heart-in-mouth watching other yachts docking. With the brisk side-wind in the harbour it isn't easy, but several showed how you really don't do it. There is little excuse for ultra-manoeuvrable catamarans, but they showed the folly of coming to a standstill on the water to drop anchor. The wind just loves to blow you sideways and you end up dropping anchor some way off the intended spot. We counted three that gave up in the end and went elsewhere.

As a result the evening ouzo expedition was delayed while we guarded KJ and our anchor.
