Day 8 - after the party

---

A boat is a funny thing you know. There is almost no privacy so after a while you get everything. Jealousy fights, naked people, things that should have stayed inside (also some food that got out the wrong way again :-))

Today we wanted to go the way home. We came a lot farer then we expected and without measuring it in the card I would say it is about 120 nautic miles from mykonos to athens where we have to give back the boat...at an average speed of 6 miles/hour that makes 24 hours sailing....
However everybody had a hangover so we started late (around 9 a.m. it must have been) and I only had 2 crew members to get the boat untied. We decided to go only a short way back to Syros where we had been before because they offer water and electricity there. So the skipper switched on the auto-pilot and cleared the roaps while the crew was sleeping ("Where are we? In Syros? How did we get there?" haha)
We did some bathing and easy-going-stuff. Jeff was a little injured from the Dinghi-trip the day before (they filled Diesel in the tank, the Dinghi engine stopped and they were almost outside the harbour in the open water with 5 Bft wind and waves, so he decided to drag the boat to some cliffs where he cut his foot) and Jan who fueled the tank with Diesel had to fix the engine. So there is nothing much to tell from today, sorry. Just two "ghost ships" on their way home....
