Rainer buys a tin of antifouling which explodes when he is back on the boat. What a mess! Two rolls of kitchen paper and a litre of thinner later we have blue fingernails and Rainer looks like Captain blue beard. But the rest of the boat appears clean except for Rainer's shorts and shirt - they go directly to the garbage bin! There was no thought of taking pictures!

In Phoinikas on Syros we wait for the announced Meltemi, the strong
wind in this part of the Med. Rainer uses the time to get the required
stamp for the transit log and learns all about Greek bureaucracy.

We didn't wait long enough; on the way to Paros the Meltemi hits us.
We find shelter on the north side of Paros in a protected bay, but we
didn't get much sleep because of the noise of the engines of the ferries
from the close-by city.

In the morning the deck is sopping wet, usually a sign for not too much
wind. The passage between Paros and Antiparos is full of rocks we have
to navigate careful
