Matt's idea of diving<\/p><\/div>\n

Sunday the 13th<\/sup> of September.<\/p>\n

Checking the weather (my new found obsession) on my laptop from the boat (one hour passwords for Internet Wi-Fi access were available at the marina cafe at no charge), I was pleased to see that several calm days were forecast for the Cyclades. Good weather appears to have been a rarity this summer, so we made haste to depart and make the most of it.<\/p>\n

Our destination? Ios via Thira (approximately 100NM distant).<\/p>\n

With a few hours to kill (so as to arrive at Thira \/ Santorini by daybreak), we motored to the small island off Iraklion called Nissos Dhia. It has a splendid little anchorage ideal for swimming, or if you are so inclined, doing back-flips off the boat (BTW that’s Matt in the photo). At dusk we continued north at 4.5kts on a gentle sea.<\/p>\n
