Our sailing adventure now takes us on from the lovely island of Kythnos to the hustle and bustle of Hydra. Forever beating a course against the elements, it’s a welcome rest on an island that boasts no motor vehicles!
Donkeys and Mules carry everything from passengers to luggage, whilst sea taxis offer a similar service, as well as trips to remote beaches (including nudist) and other hard to access places. We are lucky to be here for the Easter celebrations, and enjoy the vibrant friendly atmosphere surrounding this holiday.
Anchored in the small bay of Mandraki (no room in the harbour) it’s only a short walk into the town, and a lot quieter, but still with a great atmosphere of its own.
Sailing on to Epidavros, we hit our first serious squall, crashing into 4 metre waves and being battered with 46 knot winds and lashing rain.
I try out single handed sailing for the first time (only briefly though) and we prepare ourselves for our first ever transit through the Corinth Canal.

the most idyllic little bay beautifully
calm little restaurant here as well

it's just lovely

why wait yeah let's not look at them
okay
a beautiful day they're gorgeous only my
ensures it's good one of the little
ferry boats that takes you around Hydra
and to some of the little beach even Bay
I think that about 10 to 12 euro each
from what we've seen this is the pathway
that takes you from man Dracula round to
Hydra as you can see it's just
flower-filled quite a lot of bees around
but they don't seem to be any trouble
and they've got some beautiful beautiful
houses up on the hills it's just amazing

yesterday we we want to keep it down and
actually watching sounds like on the
beat I'm correct I believe them which
Hydra
yes I drew the money we went to really
just double up around speaker to see
anywhere we look any fuel or gas because
we will in a tag at cups of coffee and
tea but we didn't find anywhere there's
nowhere and what was really strange and
we found very refreshing whether there
are no vehicles in town at all there are
no cars no scooters motorbikes no
lorries no vans nothing and the only
transport they've got there the donkey's
which was really nice but what it does
mean is that you'd have to go a long way
out of town to actually find any fuel or
gas and because it was Sunday and it was
Easter all the hardware shops just as
well went to the bakery to can get some
bread and then whanau so they're also
quite busy simcha back for Bolton at
lunch and decided to do a bit of fishing
and of course you catch any then we
decided that we got back into town and
you need sort of early evening let us
drink I wander around and they came back
you
[Music]
[Applause]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
so where are we happy Davros yeah it's
really nice actually
we just took a laundry and you're
waiting for a big shock but it actually
quite a big bag of laundry it's only 20
euros feel far actually being killed the
cops yeah we did
you've quoted us 20 years in writing no
yeah and that's going to be ready for
lunchtime so that's pretty good as well
and it's quite busy here yah twice
there's quite a few people who knows a
little air in so it's a few bolts in
that that's a nice town too bad and
we're just off to the Gary's announces
you can get some fuel thank you to come
and put some fuel we can find some gases
the other yeah we need some gas for
cooking so we're going to try and get
some gas as well we don't know where you
get off road no idea and maybe the
supermarket McGarry final sanding area
something I don't think we're going to
get delivered by the look of it so it's
even open so wonder why it closed what
day is it do they choose these holiday
don't know have fun on this is the main
road out towards reckon a semi quite
we're way over clear we won't be walk-in
there today and apparently is a great
big amphitheater here it's supposed to
be really nice of man maybe trying to
find a violent person we'll get our fuel
try and get some gas to top-up our
provisions and other than that means
lovely day
we know it's bit of a rough day
yesterday what happened yesterday and we
hit stop mixed or taking nowhere
the mountain but and we were hit with
watch five or six knock winds and going
from virtually still to that was a bit
shopping and the roughly see we've ever
been in break help the boat coats all
right we come to write the wet wood one
that comes in safe so what's next
the Stephen get some gas net and super
box get some gas
yeah it sounds a bit weird but yes
that's what it is I presented the
program device women buy a regulated way
in secret we pour gas bottles on their
equipment and children will be empty we
do talk about the deficit fuel being one
of the main things we have to walk quite
where I found a little guilty because
you'll deliberate by frankly this
particularly thrilled by the idea so we
start early and never datura and for
sure enough robot turned up at the
centre and we had a hundred fifty five
euro were secure and which is really
good and I was completely shocked us or
not I'd use any bill never absolutely we
just get some shopping so we needed
quite a lot of Susan
so that probably about hunter Europe the
chocolate are popular and then the first
thing we needed with the gas pocket and
the right thing was the water will
become soft upper volta
and that the greatest we're going to get
everything that we needed a bigger so
who go into trouble for stealing
electric last night yeah elective
knowing that was only a euros worth of
electrical problems because of it just
about what this table is gesture that
was at the carbon okay right - you need
electrical fire
it is really want electrocuted the
interface back which was a nominal thing
you're prettier we did not take the
water before the harbor so far we've
done brilliantly with water harbour
obligate included electric for all of
its being pretty cheap offering which we
really think about it
so what's worth getting the sails out on
your own then oh you never know where
I'll have to do it yeah remember that
one day yeah you tell how we doing
you might be injured or you might lose
the one right here's the one likely to
be injured
yeah exactly dig that over because
you're another you do everything at
rapid speed
that's why how insolent how we do it get
things done here dangerously how we did
we do know our gun sales out we've got
eight knots of wind and we're doing four
point eight to five the engines running
yeah much so this will be the second
time this morning we've had silver had
them at about an hour and a quarter
earlier see what we can do this one just
disappointing with the wind just stopped
there you go
[Music]
I can safely say we've never been this
close to a motorway while sat on the
back of a yacht but that is the motorway
that to my right teach you to it happens
and to the left takes you down to the
current or past occurrence towards the
Corfu side of Greece
so rather interesting
