We checked out of Turkey on Friday in Bodrum, after much hassle avoiding a 75 Euro agent fee, which we managed to do but as usual something that should have taken half an hour took half a day instead. The blow was softened a bit by us discovering a duty free shop at the ferry terminal where we had to get our passports stamped and thus we smuggled out a couple of bottles of cheap liquor in our backpacks...typical cruiser style!
This morning we upped anchor and after topping up with fuel and water at the marina we motored the 25 miles to Lipsos Island in the Northern Dodecanese of the Greek islands. With a 15 knot head wind it was slow going but at least the engine got a good run and we topped up the power in the batteries and have enough hot water to last us a few days.
Tomorrow we'll head 10 miles to the west to the town of Skala on Patmos island, follow in our footsteps of last year and fingers crossed complete a smooth check in to Greece.
