Pedi

Wanting to escape being Med-moored next to others, and the surge from the ferry wakes in Yialos on Symi Island (Greece), we made an exit on May 12th at 14:30 to Pedi in the cove just around the corner. A very small village, or more like an over the hill extension of Yialos, but very quaint. We anchored in good holding (N36°36.859' E027°51.476').

Soon after anchoring, the wind really picked up so we moved to tie up along the dock. Several sailors grabbed our lines in the strong winds and one of them was from Nanaimo BC Canada, another couple from Denmark, and a man from France. Happy hour ensued with our new friends.

Two days later, we re-anchored in glassy waters and Jordan installed a new watermaker membrane while we waited for our company to arrive.

On May 16th, we tried to catch the yellow bus to take us over the hill back to Yialos where Jordan's son and our daughter-in-law (Aaron and Dee) were arriving on the ferry from Rhodes Greece. They had flown in from Canada on vacation. As the only bus had broken down, we caught a cab.

We showed Aaron and Dee around Yialos a bit and then were able to catch the repaired bus back to Pedi.

On the 18th, we checked out of Symi/Pedi to do further Greek island exploring.
