We had a long day of sailing, which involved a lot of tacking to get to our next island of Syros. The sailing was rough and most people were seasick (including Andy). He spent the better part of the day in his cabin...at one point we had six dolphins swimming with our boat. That brought all the seasick people to the deck...except for Andy, who said "unless you see flying unicorns tailing our boat, just let me sleep."

It was too rough to eat during the sail, so when we arrived at the Syros dock around 4:00pm, we devoured all of our leftover food. Our boat backed up to a bunch of bars and restaurants, so it was a great location, although we had to walk a 10 foot plank to get to land...a little dicey. We spent the rest of the day swimming at a local watering hole, which looked like a shrunken speedo convention. We met our new skipper Ludwig, who took a long tour of the boat and then we headed for our last supper with Damon, our original skipper. Andy was nominated to give a toast and present the tip and managed to make it sincere and funny (Mike and Kate, I think he was happy to practice before the big day). We ended the night at the dockside bar 10 feet from our boat.
