Idag ställde vi ingen väckarklocka. I Karistos var det lugnt. Efter frukost grejade vi med båten. Torkade våta madrasser och kuddar samt tömde ur en del vatten under durkarna. Efter lunch kom vi småningom iväg. Dagens mål var Voufalo. En trevlig och skyddad vik med ankring och bad. Märkligt nog hade vi glömt gårdagens strapats och tänkte oss en ganska enkel eftermiddagstur. Men - det blåste mycket även idag. Mer, faktiskt. Och dit vi ville var det motvind i kulingstyrka. Så vi ändrade planen för att komma fram före mörkrets inbrott vid 8-tiden.
This morning no alarms where set. Everything was calm in Karistos. After breakfast we delt with the boat. Dried wet matrasses and cushions and also emptied water from bilge. After lunch we finally managed to get moving. Todays goal was Voufalo. A nice and secure bay with good anchorage and swimming. Strangely enough we had forgotten all about yesterdays hardships and had planned for a simple afternoon sailing tour. But - there was lot of wind today too. More actually. And where we wanted to go it was upwind in force 7. So - Change of plans!
Nea Stira heter det lilla samhället på Eviasidan av sundet. Vi gick dit och kunde ligga vid färjekajen. Inga särskilda finesser för båtturister men trevligt och säkert för våra behov. Dagens erfarenhet räcker kanske inte som illustration till att "högmod går före fall". Men vi fick verkligen en påminnelse om att varje ny seglingsdag ska tas på allvar om man vill ha koll på läget.

Nea Stira is the name of a small village on the Evia side of the sound. We went there and got a good mooring at the ferry quay. Not to fancy but good enough for our needs. There is a Swedish saying that translates "Pride goes before a fall". I dont think todays experience is enough to call for that as an illustration. But we did get a reminder that every new day of sailing should be taken seriously. If you want to be on top!
