Set off early as we had moored to the ferry wharf and it was due to come in. Set off with main and jib reefed and had a much more comfortable sail in 20 knot winds, similar to yesterday. Got the boat to a maximum of 6.21 knots. Arrived early as it was a fast sail and moored stern to behind a stone and concrete marina which was great because the winds continued to pummel the late arrivals who had to be moored in more exposed positions. Late lunch at a taverna and a siesta (for some and others found an internet connection). Windsurfer heaven here and there are hundreds of them absolutely flying along.
The skipper of the lead boat who moors everyone at night has absolute infinite patience when it comes to leading us in and explaining what he wants us to do. Skipper says put your fenders on the port side and come in and moor against the boat I am standing on. The yacht comes in, passes the Skipper and turns around so it is facing the same direction as the boats already moored then realises its fenders are on the port side. They say to the skipper do you want our fenders on the port side? Yes he replies because you have to go out again, do a loop and come back in so the boat you are mooring up to is on your port side. Simple really.
