After a few days in Naxos, which is a wonderful island, especially in the interior, we spent two nights in a small bay in the first island East of Naxos, Dhonousa.
We had planned only one night, but the rocky sea bed refused to release our anchor until about 3 pm of the day we intended to leave. So we stayed put for another night.
We went ashore on the island for help. The woman who was cleaning her taverna in preparation for Summer, informed us that there were no men older than 15 in the remote village. She called the adjacent village with ferry service and confirmed no divers on the island to help. She also confirmed no ferry service to the island for 2 days. This bay was so secluded that for the first time in Greece we had no blackberry service.
We went back to the boat and luckily freed the anchor after more messing around. It was a hard day. Good learning lesson. Had a nice dinner on the boat and we celebrated my parents 58 year anniversary.
This morning we left at 6:30 am for Patmos. Just saw these four dolphins off the starboard bow.
