When the strong winds had finally blown away we started our planning for when Pascal and Aurore arrive. We needed somewhere with protected seas, definately not the Cyclades! We thought about the last finger of the Peloponnese and headed down to Hydra but we found the sea was often rough and it was already crowded with floatillas. We have decided on the Sardonic isles around Athens and maybe pass through the Corinth Canal. So we have been checking out a few places and arrive at Zea marina in Athens tomorrow to clean the boat and stock up on food ready for our last visitors this year.....
