Overnight Anchorage (Anchorage)
We anchored overnight here in the company of a large Feadship.
Their launch brought some swimmers in to shallower waters and we were invited for drinks onboard the yacht.
We were collected by the launch and taken out for very formal cocktails and hors d' oeuvres on the aft deck of the yacht with the owners and their guests.
After about an hour of nice conversation, we were asked to sign the guest book, afterwhich we heard the launch motors starting up, indicating that it was time for us to depart.
An interesting insite into how the other half live.
There is a restaurant ashore shaped like a viking boat.

Beautiful Anchorage (Anchorage)
This one one of our favorite spots.
We anchored overnight here and swam ashore.
There were a few nude bathers on the beach but it was very secluded.

Sami
Argostoli (Excursion)
We caught the bus from Sami to Argostoli to do some shopping.
Argostoli is the main town on the island and has many shops and restaurants.

Wasp bay (Anchorage)
A pleasant, secluded anchorage, except that there were thousands of yellow jacket wasps.
We strung up a mosquito net over the dodger after we both got stung.
The wasps love beer. I took a swig of my beer and spat out more than one wasp.
I then poured the rest of my beer into a tupperware, and there were 9 more wasps in there.
It is best to ignore the wasps rather than chase them away.
I rotated the ring pull of my beer cans over the hole to act as a bit of a filter to stop them getting in (and maybe stop them getting out too:-).
We anchored close to the old steel dock structure, and at one point we took a line to the steel frame to point us out of the bay.

Fiskardo
This is a pretty town which is also meant to host the rich and famous.
Nice restaurants around the marina.

Ag Ioannis Beaches (Beach)
Magnificent secluded beaches all along this coast line.
We anchored in crystal clear waters in a few places around here.

Myrtou Beach (Beach)
This is meant to be one of the finest beaches of Greece.
We anchored off here for lunch.

Assos (Anchorage)
A beautiful anchorage on the windy side of the island and thus less touristy.
We anchored with a bow and stern anchor as there was not much to tie onto onshore.
