.Problems.. As we started to leave for Spetses, Hydra III had a problem and could not run their motors. She is a new “Green” boat with electric motors for propulsion. They have a battery fault and need a technician to look at it. They’re staying in Ermioni while we go on to Spetses. First stop mid-day swimming and lunch of cooked squid. Very good..

We arrived to the island of Spetses in good winds and sails everywhere but all heading for the sameIMG 7497harbor. This is where George our Greek skipper earns his salt. Another narrow & shallow harbor full of boats. I now call itIMG 7504 the harbor dance, looking for a sea wall that we can med-tie to. First try,, lots of loud voices (It’s Greek to me) and finally no… The beauty of a catamaran is it doesn’t need much water and we found a shallow sea wall that as we tie-up we find out is a tavern that will be open until 4 AM. It’s going to be another interesting night!!

It’s a beautiful tavern as you can see the entrance with our boat near the harbor side patio. Murril’s at it again.. Him & George quickly meet the bar owner and arranges to get us connected to shore power.

IMG 7514 It’s time to see Spetses. There are large pines shading villas and a seawall and cobble stone roads along the watersIMG 7553edge that lead to narrow alleys with cafes and taverns around every corner. Sounds familiar, It’s a Greek trade mark. This island is a little bigger so Murril & Al and Frankie &IMG 7513I rent scooters and join the constant buz on the waters edge heading out to see the sights.

In the old harbor there’s classic wood ship builders restoring what must be traditional Greek boats.

.

Finding a spot for dinner only required walking 100 meter to an old olive mill with a candle lite dock extending out in the harbor surrounded by boats of all types.

.Off to Poros.. Carol and Julie cool down off the back ladder.

.

.Poros has a huge harbor and lots of dock space. We arrived early enough to get space on the main dock instead the seawall in front of the board walk with all the cafes and taverns hoping for a quieter night.

.It’s warm today and scooters will be a great way to cool down. 8 bikes head around the island and end up seaside for sunset for a Poros

Arriving back to the dock there are now 50 boats on the only separated by finders and every language you might imagine..

Got to go to dinner… Until the next update

We forgot to mention that Lowell & Frankie received their luggage just before leaving from Athens for the boat.
