Anna outside the Agora, in Athens. The Agora was the central meeting area in ancient Athens, and much of it has been excavated. You can see the Parthenon and Acropolis in the background.

First day of our sailing voyage. We sailed to the east side of Leros and moored in this harbor in Panteli. Anna and I hiked up the hill overlooking the town to visit the castle. Dinner that night was at a beachfront (our tables were almost in the water) restaurant called Psarapoula.

On Wednesday we sailed to Patmos, the "happening" island in the area. Thursday we shopped, swam, kayaked, and watched the World Cup. Thursday morning we took a cab up to the monastery high up on Patmos.

On the sail from Patmos, Treb had the helm--30+ knots of wind, 4-5 foot waves washing over us, two reefs in the mainsail, and the genoa only 2/3 unfurled. That's sailing! (Anna went below to get the cameras during all this and bounced around like a pinball! At one point she was hanging sideways off the ladder, holding on with one hand and trying to take a picture with the other.)

Marathi. Three families lived on the island--two had tavernas with little hotels. The tavernas served a lot of boaters.

Looking north from Lipsi. Those are some of the islands that we visited earlier in the week. The prevailing winds in the Aegean, especially during the summer, are from the north, so most of the north sides of the islands are empty.

"What do we do now?" Craig and Heather had just quit their jobs in London and are now backpacking around the world (well, Greece, Turkey, Thailand & SE Asia, Australia, and New Zealand). Then they're heading back home to the US to resume their life in the real word.
