Plan A, plan B, plan C.

The original plan was to press on to Phaselis today. However the anchorage there is only suitable in calm settled weather. Despite moderate forecasts, the reality had us reaching for the maritime euphemism encyclopaedia again.

It was certainly 'bouncy' and 'rolly' even in the Ceneviz anchorage. We could see the the wind out to sea was at very least 'brisk', and coming from the direction we wanted to go in.

Plans A and B were ditched, and plan C invented. Back to Finike. It was brisk indeed. On the last stretch we were doing 7+ knots with reefed sails (close hauled - for the sailors).

There was a dramatic wild-fire on the hillsides near Finike. Three helicopters were busy bombing it with water, but a change in wind direction looked horribly dangerous for a hill village. Hope all was well.
