Now the start times got really crazy and I didn't leave my berth to watch. The wind is now set for downwind sailing all the way to Cyprus. Tim and I rarely do any downwind sailing on King Malu, so this is good for us.
Dolphins again, but this time the sea is much clearer and we are treated to a display of swimming by mammals few others can beat.
Washing down is part of the house-keeping on board and continues daily while sailing. There is a dish-washer and washing-machine to to help with the task of keeping what amounts to a small hotel running.
As we approach Rhodes the number of boats, both leisure and commercial increases. Till now we have seen very few boats except those at the anchorages.
As we arrive a small hydrofoil departs. The sea is calm enough for it now.
We dropped anchor outside the marina, since space within the marina is a premium. Strangely there are no floating pontoons which means that the number of boats that can be accommodated is less than half than if they did have them.
We arrived in Rhodes just before sunset. The castle and the old city are amazing. Just wish I could have seen the old Colossus of Rhodes.
We went ashore and had a fabulous meal. The restaurant was one that you had to know to find. Serendipitously we did so! Apparently the crew of SAGA IV had eaten there on the way out, but the route to the restaurant was quite different.
