After stowing away the bicycles and filling with water we left the mooring in Monemvasia with the intention of sailing along the coast to Kiparissi. However after a short time motoring the wind blew up from the South South East and we had the perfect wind to take us further North towards Hydra. It blew between 12 and 14 knots steadily all day and on reaching the island of Dhokos it started to gust so we reefed and started the engine to round the island; We sailed at a steady 6 knots all day and late evening we reached the anchorage of Ormus Skindos on the island of Dhokos. We anchored in deep water and on the third attempt the anchor took but not before we had raised a plastic doormat that had hooked itself onto our anchor, After a light meal (cooked by Svein) we sat on deck and enjoyed the tranquility of the evening whilst watching the full moon rise over the bay.
