Milos, Greece

We continued heading East through the night. Bruce, Marian, and I traded shifts every three hours. When I came on shift at 0800 it was blowing F6-7 directly against us. While my original plan was to continue East, I decided that with the wind directly against us, it wasn't worth continuing East. I turned Dragonsinger North and diverted downwind to the Greek island of Milos. We moored to the quay in Adamas before noon. After a rest, we explored the town and enjoyed an afternoon drink at a local cafe
