Hi The webcam in Kalamata is looking out over the eastern arm and entrance to the commercial harbour weather-messinia.gr/cams/paralia2000M.jpgReally enjoying the updates on your progress and glad the weather is starting to warm up for you both! All the Best Craig

Kalamata is a lovely place but it is soon time to leave. The tracker will go back on too. Next stop, hopefully, will be the eastern end of Crete. Allan.

Alan and Allan, I dont know who is the skipper on this voyage, but it is fantastic following your progress. Will you both be spending Christmas in Cyprus? We will be watching you all the way. Brian King.

Brian, Alan is skipper. This morning we arrived in chania, Spiros,the harbour master, welcomed us and took our ropes. I'm really warming to the Greek people. There seems to be loads of paperwork but all done with a smile. The visitor moorings here are 7euro/night! Allan

This is it now Als, the last leg! Don't know if the tracker shows UK time or Greece time. According to tracker you arrived around 7 am, which presumably is around 11.00 am in Greece?

Sheila, We arrived 0700UT which is our boat time. That is 0900 local time. Please note, beer o'clock is always the same, no matter what clock you are using. We have now done 2913Nm since Cardiff. One last leg of 450Nm to go. We'll leave Saturday if the forecast stays the same. I just need to find a boat to sail back now! Allan

Nice to hear from both of you. On recent holidays I too found the Greek people to be very welcoming.
Good luck on your final leg. Bring some sunshine back with you.It has been very cloudy of late.
Brian.

Looked at Myweather2 for North & East of Crete and South of Cyprus. Doesn't look like anything exciting happening regarding the wind for the next 10 days or so. No rain forecast either. Winds are forecast to be light!

Shiela, thanks for looking that up for us. I'm a little sceptical as it's pissing down right now! Allan

There on the move again. !!!! Looks like the last push on the last leg. It's been great following Sequel's journey. The boy's have done really well . Especially at this time of year & after the rough start they had.

At 11.53 this morning they were less than a mile by my calculations from Sequel's (and Alan's) new home at Polis. What are we going to do with our time now without having a boat to follow?

Brian, I'm flying back on Saturday. I'll be over to check Chausey and pick my car up either at the weekend or soon after. Great to hear that so many members were following our fun! Sat by the harbour now. We've had lunch so just enjoying the sun and beer! Allan
