Well first I promised you the monastery so here goes….. We followed the main road out of town.

Somewhere near the top top of the island is a monastary, with a long and interesting history, but it was shut.

Rather than me summarise the history, you can read all about it here.

They have some epic views

This island has no Uber… in fact no cars… and apparently, since the donkey retired, it has just two tractors. Both were busy working as taxis taking people to the monday morning ferry in trailers.

So the plan today was to have a race in the morning. There are 10 boats in our flotilla so here are a few of us getting ready to race in the wind that is going to get up any minute now.

And here we are, probably leading, but in no wind because guess what.. the wind didn’t show…

Everyone decided to abandon after a couple of hours so all our hard work came to nothing.

So we went for a swim and then headed off towards our next destination.. and now of course we find the wind!

Bernard can’t swim that fast and we can’t tow our dinghy this time so he enjoyed the ride from the cockpit.

So here we are in Orei, Oreoi on the map, (not the biscuit the town), which is on a really big island called Evia

40 yachts in the harbour… with 8 power points… so we’ll not be getting any power tonight but we did refill with water.
