We are all up pretty early. It is a beautiful, clear, warm morning. The marina where we are staying is the nicest that we will see. An amphitheater, really clean
facilities, a little beach with outside showers. Lots of other boaters take dips and then rinse off under the outside showers. I take a walk up the hill, then take a dip. Some of us go for a swim at the pebble beach, others go back into the very small town and get some great shots of the fishing boats. We get underway by 10am.
Light breeze – we motor for a while then sail on a slow reach. We drop the swim
deck and ladder, set out a fender on a rope, and take turns hanging off the back. As the breeze picks up, we raise the swim deck and sail a bit faster.
Marlene gives us a “three points of contact” lecture which involves lots of thigh slapping. It is really funny. Frank dubs it “Two Cheeks to the Wind”.

For lunch, Cathy and Lynn make a very large hoagie with a long fresh roll, hamish, cheese, really red tomatoes, etc. It looks fantastic on the cockpit table and tastes even better. It is the first of many great lunches aboard.
The wind picks up again and we do 5 to 7 knots as we approach Vis. After spending so much at the marina in Solta, we are happy to anchor in the little Vis harbor. We take the dingy (rubba-duck) off the fore deck and go ashore to walk around the coast a little. We see an old monastery, with a scenic cemetery overlooking the harbor, roman baths (far on the other side of a stone wall), a Hellenic necropolis (cemetery) that we can walk through. In town we visit a wine shop and buy fig bars – Vis is known for their herbed fig bars.
Swimming and sundowners back on the boat. In preparing for dinner, we discover that Radey’s shower sump pump is not working. They end up using the front shower for the rest of the trip as we are unable to find an in-line fuse anywhere. Dingy to town, then walk around for a while until Gostonia catches our attention – tables are set up on the sidewalk, we can sort of see the water, the host is not pushy and there is a table for 6 in a prime spot. Our waiter’s most prominent feature is his “big, large” nose. He helps us select some excellent dishes, very reasonably priced. We finish with carob cake and learn that the seeds from the carob are traditionally used to feed the mules during harvest – the mules love them, they are high in energy, and contain a mild stimulant, not unlike caffeine. The cake is really good.
On the doors of the toilets are pictures of knots that are suggestive of anatomically appropriate body parts. We find plenty to laugh about as dinner winds down.
