Today is the lead crew’s day off so the boats are all sailing on our own to different places. We plan to head south in search of wind so we got up early.

We have been connected to shore power overnight. It seems to work but I’m not really sure why.

We are pretty sure we have found Tracy Island. Obviously it is not marked as that, to avoid giving the game away they call it Atakos.

Anyway it has a famous bay called one house bay.

In theory this was an easy place to anchor but our first attempt at ended up with the chain caught on a rock which was secure, but left us in an awkward place blocking another boat so we hauled it up and layed it again.

The two black dots on the beach in the photo above are two black pigs who live here… they swim out to anchored boats and expect to be fed! Who knew pigs could swim!

So our destination for tonight is Frikes. We sailed until the wind died and then motored the last few miles. Stunning views and very quiet.

All the Tavernas here have shut for the season so there is not much competition for mooring spots.

Dinner is to be found 2km up the hill in the  town of Stavros, from which you can look down to the other side of island, you can see a couple of yachts at anchor.

They have lots of museum displays and information boards. The museum is unmanned and seems to be open all evening

There are 2 restaurants, one is called ‘the delicious’ which we guessed might be aimed at tourists and chose the other one. Food was definitely a notch up from all the other places we have visited and the service was several notches up. According to my watch the walk is 248 calories up 138 down so I had a starter and a main course…
