The recent extension to the breakwater at Kyparissia is good - without it we couldn't have stayed here last night and would have had a long day to Pylos yesterday.
New harbours with big concrete quays definitely need to be treated with suspicion until proven. As forecast, we had strong South Westerlies, which veered to North Westerlies in the middle of the night. We suffered from significant swell on the West quay, and were up through the night tending the lines. We're now in the market for some better string...
and a couple more of these
(We shipped ours from Spain, which made them a little pricey, but they work really well.)
Things looked a little better on the East quay where Norna Biron was be sitting pretty. On closer investigation this morning, they had an anchor out abeam which pulled them clear of the quay.
The silver lining was that we took a day off from moving, and walked up to Kyparissa castle. Absolutely stunning views. We're at anchor in the harbour tonight, and will sleep very well.
