Dhenoussa Island.

Current Position at anchor: North 37*05'772 East 025*48'238 ~ Anchored in 20 feet sandy bottom, great holding.

Yesterday we decided to make the most of the Meltemi winds (strong winds that blow from the North West here in Greece) and sail the 38 miles South West of Patmos island to the small island of Dhenoussa. We're currently anchored off a beautiful sandy beach on the south coast covered in tents belonging to Greek holiday makers who catch the ferry over and spend a few days camped out on the beach.

Today the wind has been gusting up to 30 knots so we've stayed on the boat to keep anchor watch with the occasional swim to cool off. Tomorrow we plan to head further south to Naxos island and some of the smaller less visited islands below it and then on to Paros and Sifnos, we have no real time deadlines to be anywhere so we'll just take it slow and do some exploring!
