Off to Patmos we go. very sporty gusty sail. Finally found some action and had an exciting exhilarating few hours . We were on a free sail day so our stern to parking was minus our flotilla lead guidance , was the most windy day yet but Captain Ward did a stellar job. All secure mid afternoon and ready to explore.

,This place has a ton of history including an old monastery at the top of the city

Visited this cave which is apparently where Saint John the apostle wrote the book of revelations. A Greek Orthodox priest was doing a mass on our visit. a very spiritual place with many devote Christians weeping within. no photography allowed so this is a picture of a picture.

Up then by taxi to the Monastery to explore. The views from the top were amazing

The next day brings us a windless motor to a small secluded bay with mooring balls. Palionisos back on the Island of Kalymnos .

I spent my money on booze, broads, and boats...the rest I wasted.
