Milos to Poros, Greece

We still have a long ways to travel across the Mediterranean. Today we left Milos at dawn and headed back out into the Aegean. The wind blew all day yesterday, but today the sea is calm and we motor the seventy nautical miles to Poros. We slowly drive by the quay looking for a place to tie up. As we go by a shore side taverna, the owner Michael tells us that there is a public wharf available. We turn around and tie up across from his taverna. We stop for a beer while he arranges for a tanker truck to drive up so that we can fill Dragonsinger's fuel tanks. After dinner onboard we explore the seaside town and prepare to move on tomorrow.
