After breakfast we motored 2.5 miles across Navarino bay to anchor in the north west corner. We left the dinghy on the beach and took the path up to Palaiokastro, the castle of Pylos. From there we could look back at Imagine and northwards over the picture postcard semi-circle of the beach at Voidhokoila. We tramped the crumbling walls and loose stones within the castle. It was only when we finished our walk that I pointed out the sign at the bottom stating that the castle was closed due to serious danger. We then drifted back to the harbour and were fortunate to find a berth alongside. We replenished the stores and I looked at the memorial to the three admirals who commanded the fleet that destroyed the Turks in the Battle of Navarinon. The British commander was Codrington.
