21 September 2023 - Plataria
Benitses has a rather expensive supermarket, but a very reasonable greengrocers, bakery and a fish stall. Food stocking done and deck washed, I was able to join my yoga class on Zoom. Doing yoga in the cockpit caused a few smiles from people walking by on the quay. It was great fun to connect with my yoga class from afar.
It is just twelve miles across to the mainland from Benitses, which gave us a pleasant afternoon mixture of sailing and motoring into a large bay by the town of Plataria. This would give us shelter from the south wind, expected during the night. It was a bit of a surprise to have a F3 northwesterly blowing straight into the bay when we arrived at the anchorage, presumably caused by the afternoon sea breeze. By supper time this had dropped off to nothing and as night fell we had the pretty scene of the lights of the town twinkling away.
