I woke early and so went on deck to check that nothing had moved in the night,  just in time to see a fishing boat fishing between the area we were anchored in and the harbour mouth.  He laid his net in a perfect circle and then came back around to the beginning to collect the other end of the net and put it onto a winch. He then winched it in to close the circle of net and finally bring it aboard with a haul of small fry.

Anchored near us were two Gulets. We have seen a lot of these wide, twin masted traditional design of Turkish boats. They range from multi million pound yachts with staff to tourist boats playing loud music as they take tourists to different bays. These two clearly had professional crews as they had moored in a very tricky place effortlessly.

After a quick dip in the bay before breakfast, and a trip in the dinghy to the bakery for some bread for lunch, we sailed south again to meet up with the rest of the flotilla in a bay on the East side of Kalimnos island. It looks almost like a fjord with steep hills all around.

There is room for maybe a dozen boats in here maybe, with two tavernas and a beach bar at the end. There were a few locals on the beach, we had dinner in the taverna that owns the mooring bouys we are all using for the night. The deal is you get an easy safe mooring in exchange for your custom. It doesn’t look much

But the food was really good.
