This morning we only had the bay to cross to our next destination of Naousa on Paros Island. We chose to take a berth in the marina by the old port to give us the opporunity to tidy up the boat and have close access to the town. On …
We departed from Paros for the passage north to Mykonos Island, as the forecast was for light winds in the afternoon. Nearing the island on the south east coast we decided to detour to one of the small islands to stop and have some lunch and a swim. As we …
