Happy Birthday Kay 🎂🎈🎁

Another beautiful day.  I haven’t mentioned the weather much but we have had perfect days (other than the wind).  No rain and very comfortable temperature on the water. 

After a little breakfast we left Golden Beach on Paros.  The wind had picked up from yesterday.  We are headed to Ios which is supposed to be a real party island.   

We motor sailed to the main port of Ios where we planned to get fuel.  However it was really windy and the direction of the wind was unfavorable to get into the dock easily, so we circled around for awhile, watched a catamaran dock and then decided to bag it and move on.  The gauge says we have more than 1/2 tank which in theory should be plenty for the rest of the trip, but we have had boats with faulty gauges before.  Here are pictures of the main port on Ios. 

We sailed down the coast of Ios on reefed sails.  We anchored in Manganari on the southern coast of Ios.

We had dinner on the boat that night.
