Ithaki 38 22 040N 20 43 139E

Hi
Had a lovely three days here in the Port of Vathi - the harbour has a special magic - touches of Simi, Panormitis, Poros. Great shopping for Margaret and I - we needed to get a good fix.

Beautiful hand embroidered sheets, tablecloths and napkins which we couldn;t pass by.

Unfortunately, it is a popular place for charter yachts so they're all juggling for space in the early evening. Nerve racking watching some trying to anchor. We sit watching and hoping they won;t disturb our anchors.

We're leaving this morning before a force 6-7 comes in this afternoon. Don;t fancy our chances amidst all these holiday makers on a lee shore. We'll move up to the next bay for a day and then around the top of Ithaki.

All well and enjoying the cooler climate,swimming and taverna eating.

Love to all
MUM
