so yesterday we left Cross Island
hopefully it's the last time for a while
this we've been back and forward because
of the sale and we collected some fuel
some diesel for our trip and some water
and it came to 128 euro which is
actually back to the neutral
there's a castle on the hill there which
apparently is a little bit rundown but
it's beautiful to walk up to very very
steep and there's the time and we're
gonna go into the bay on the time to
bakery I didn't think there'd be this
many cars on this road I know he's a bit
hot but it's sticky there is a breeze
but it's still really sticky is in fact
the last couple of days have been so
humid I know it smells gorgeous isn't so
I've got a laundry service here no idea
how much it would be
yeah hey Tim
eeny meeny miny moe they will go this
way
something we've arrived he enters the
castle right yeah he doesn't stand out
as being the main entrance but
here we found the entrance so we're in
castle or Castro we are actually room by
the Turks for quite a while to the
Ottoman Empire it they collected the
taxes once a year and then left which
was obviously a great Christian
settlement alone most of the time the
problems of piracy and everything else
used to mean that everybody came into
the castle to take shelter then in the
earthquake of Santorini I don't know
anyway it all fell apart no longer tried
to make plans to rebuild it and it would
be able to because of bureaucracy so one
absolute shame because it's amazing well
after the earthquake and everything to
the tumbled down like a pack of cards
apparently and one of the Timbers and
other substantial building materials
were actually robbed and used further
down in the town so I shouldn't if they
ever got done to rebuild it and then of
course like I said because of a
bureaucracy that was involved in
rebuilding it no but no nobody really
known who owned the land and we finally
got down to the harbor u-boats in not
too many
thank you space
few car hire places I'm not Spock hi
[Music]
so hope for police Coast Guard up on the
top of the harbor
[Music]
just here so we'll be doing what we do
we're on the way to when you see us I
think well then there we've been like
well we're going because that's south
and that's out of the way of the ice on
the way to Sydney and we're going to
Sydney because we are talking about the
the eye of the storm which is on its way
in a couple of days time
it's supposed to be 45 minute winds and
three and a half four metre seas so we
just want to somewhere calm and quietly
we haven't been to see me for a while so
we're going to when you see Ross there's
another lie stop it forget they're in
tongues it gets too dark we'll go to
yell you stay in there as well
yeah we the wind started out quite Tim
likes we still only got between seven
and ten knots of wind and we're only
doing not very speedily so you quit six
knots at the moment but the sea as you
can see is a little bit Rolly but yeah
not too bad so far got Carmen Jenny our
friends and vote in front of us on their
boat three way in the distance down
there but they did up their engine on
Sir you can't count that that's
definitely not fair
how you doing cool
how does it feel a big one
well too much
c'mon we need a fish we have another
fish for ages that's coming this way
first catch it's a bit Rolly and you
managed to catch a bloody Wow it's
amazing
quick get the line out again oh we got
now yeah he seems to be working a bit
hard they don't let them go so Carl
caught one as well probably the same
size as ours but the same things you
wearing you out
[Laughter]
oh Jesus Christ
Oh No that sound as if a line snapped
let me go

all over the place day
oh he's getting though he's getting I'm
gonna put the camera there
Wow lively open took that before
Wow that is a big
what time did we say it was five to nine
five two nine Oh morning we've just left
the little island Oh mr. rocks it's an
overnight stay we got in there about oh
six o'clock last night maybe 20 past
6:00 last night had a really still Punk
night we just stopped to had a bite to
eat with our friends Carlin Jenny on
their boat there in front of us and now
we're heading to the island of silly
which is about 1376 linked to a mars way
so it shouldn't take too long and it
doesn't look to be a massive amount of
wind we've got five knots at home and
so kind of hoping that'll pick up
slightly and we'll be able to get them
to sail
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
[Music]
you coming up with steps
[Music]
yeah thank you
you overlooked in the back are you doing
this how you keeping this feature that's
really bad
today we're left Simmi about 12 o'clock
lunchtime so we stopped off and got some
a little bit of shopping provisions and
some water from one of the local bars
which is brilliant unfortunately it
seems to be reading first rain we've had
in all months which is actually quite
nice because it will wash the boat off
quite nicely as you can see the sky is
really dark not very pretty
we've lost the sudden so where are we
actually going which is a little Bay on
the south west side of semi monastery on
the hillsides and I think there's one
maybe even two buildings on there we've
been told it's actually very pretty but
and that's where the nothing looks
particularly pretty does it so we
arrived at panel mattes yesterday and
cloudy
so we've got today to kind of keep an
eye on the weather and decide what to do
the chances are it's going to improve a
normative that's the plan
winds whipping up
gonna go for a wonder for the weather
gets too bad but nice blue sky at the
moment but the breeze is picking up bit
lively so I'm gonna try and make our way
around to the windmill which is just
there is it it's an enemy I think not
color color sake nice car just step back
a little bit then awfully in black
aren't they I don't think I'd really get
one oh yeah the black is stronger
