On to Sifnos...

As I mentioned earlier, the original plan was to get to Milos and then head west, rounding Cythere off the Peloponnese and into the Ionian Sea. Well, best laid plans eh! All the weather info we were able to pick up on the net was negative. Westerly gales blowing continuously off the Peloponnese, no go. We weren't up for that, so it was head north to the Corinth Canal. First stop the little harbour of Vathi on the island of Sifnos. Got there at about 1800pm - 10/06/11, So glad we visited too, it was truly beautiful...

Above you can just see the entrance to Vathi opening up on the starboard bow...
I couldn't resist taking this picture while sat having a beer. I've marked out Island Rambler with an arrow on the hill. And no, that's not Joe and I paddling. A truly stunning place that these photos don't do justice too. We won't be staying long though. We'll be off tomorrow 11/06/11 to Kythnos and it's pretty port of Merichas...
