Back in the Peloponnese

Looking out from Ermioni towards the island of Hydra

 

On 23^rd June we finally left Andros and had a great downwind sail to Kea. We moored overnight in the village of Korissia then set off early for the seven hour sail down to Poros, our first stop back in the Peloponnese. I still had a chest infection and although I was coughing less, breathing was now painful so I decided I had better see a doctor. He diagnosed a lung infection and prescribed antibiotics and an inhaler.

 We were keen to sail south and explore more of the Peloponnese mainland, but we only managed  to see Ermioni and Leonidhion Plaka – both lovely, unspoilt villages - before I began to feel unwell again. Another visit to the doctor revealed I had pneumonia in both lungs. We were due to fly back to the UK the following week, so we anchored in Porto Heli and rested up until it was time for the boat to be hauled out at a yard a few miles up the coast.

Sandpiper is now out of the water on the hard at Koiladha and we are enjoying catching up with family and friends in the UK. We will update the blog again in September when we’re back in Greece.
