28th September

Duvet back on bed and soup for lunch. It's not cold but certainly cooler. We must have been at the edge of the "Medicane" as winds hit 30 knots or more in the harbour. Outside the channel between the islands is a mass of white horses and friends reported 48 knots of wind up in Levkas. A few yachts ventured out in a crash of surf. We decided to stay put for another night. What's the hurry? After lunch we took ourselves off for a walk across the island. For most of the time we were trekking steeply up or down in atmospheric forest. By the time we got back and had a cup of tea the strong wind had become a moderate breeze. Is this the end of the storm?
