Back to Paros

We arrived in Naoussa, Paros, yesterday afternoon.

Tara, Mom and I had visited the town by car about 3 1/2 weeks ago. It is more alive now and is fun to enter and access the town from the sea. This is one of the real benefits to sailing the Greek Islands.

We are off to explore the island a bit more, including visiting a friend of Catherine's who has a Summer place on the South end of the island.

Also need to pick up a spare fuel filter.

We had a scare on the way to Paros. The engine just went dead. With the algae issue a few days ago, we thought that might be it. We were quite worried, since we don't have a spare fuel filter.  Instead, a 1.5 liter water bottle with only 3 inches of water in it that was standing up on the floor in our room had lodged behind the fuel kill lever. It didn't have enough water to fall over, but did have enough to slowing work the lever out and kill the engine.
