Yesterday was a very busy day, with three events worthy of note in just one day.
The first was that we cycled over Skyros to the Chora. It was a hard ride there as it was both up hill and into the wind but stunning scenery. The Chora itself was well worth the climb, with the cobbled winding alleys and whitewashed houses and the occasional gem of a church. The fortification on the very top was closed due to earthquake damage. We stopped in one of the cafés, that gave the place it's classy feel, before flying home on the bikes.
The second event was less positive as it involved me picking up another injury. We needed to re-anchor, as on our return had begun to drag the anchor. During this procedure I managed to get my hand trapped between our pull pit and the stanchion of another boat. We have so often said, "Keep your hands and feet out of the way", and I now realise just how good this advice is. There is nothing broken, scrapped skin and bruising but a definite "Ow". Next time I will follow my own advice. In the meantime I am milking the injury for all I am worth, so no washing up or carrying heavy shopping bags or anything else I think I can get away with.
The third event of the day was a lovely evening of drinks and diner spent with the couple on the next door boat, Manaia. Good food and far too much booze, but a very good time.
