Good run today, departing at 7:30, following winds around to a broad reach. Poled out genoa. The main inmast furling system is not working, cannot resolve it so that will be a job for a marine electrician when the boat is put in storage. The battery electric drill furls and unfurls the sail, albeit slowly. At anchor at Poros, Kalefonia. We went for a swim to shore and had Mythos and light lunch at a beachside taverna. The wind blew up so we walked to the port to look at berthing options. We returned to the beach and had a challenging ocean swim in light swell. We weighed the anchor and motored into the port and tied up along side. After a GnT we walked to the town square for dinner. There was a sardine festival taking place with Greek music and dancing, lots of people enjoying themselves.

At anchor, Poros. The winds picked up so we motored into the port and tied up alongside a floating jetty.
