To Aigina and then wait

I’ve been rather lazy with blogging as we are retracing our steps across the Saronic Gulf. I’ll fill in quickly on progress so far.

After a night in Poros, we anchored in Russian bay just to the west for a couple of days. It’s one of our favourite spots with calm blue water, good sand to anchor in and just a few other boats to let you know people exist.
On Saturday, the tiny chapel on the island burst into life as a full scale wedding took place there.

Arnie took some nice pictures of us leaving.











Then it was off to Methana - an interesting place underneath a dormant volcano that sends sulphurous streams down into the harbour. The place has obviously been grand in the past but has now fallen on much harder times. Seems to be a place where old live-aboards come to quietly rust away. Nevertheless, it’s a friendly and reasonably priced place.
We then went to Aiginia via one of our favourite anchorages from long ago between Angistri and the tiny island to the south.
D stayed for 7 days sweltering and fretting about people dredging up our anchor (which happened 3 times). I made several friends while L was swanning around the UK. Rob and L came back on the ferry and we set of in the afternoon on the way to Levkas to drop Rob and pick up Val and Malcolm.
