Charter, Sail, Repeat: new ventures and old
favorites in the Greek Isles
By Zuzana Prochazka
On our first day, we sailed southwest nearly
50 miles 011 a nice beam reach, winding through
Kolpos Idras, or the Hydra Gulf. By the end, we
were running out ______ daylight, so we pulled
___ the miniscule harbor on Spetses Island. I
read the guides twice, but the most I got was a
warning about tl1e inner harbor being only 4ft deep,
which made me suck in my stomach as we crept in. The harbor turned ______ to be a mix of private
yachts, commercial boats and fishing craft, and as
we were looking round I happened to notice black
clouds _____ the horizon. The wind was also now
picking _______, so out we went again, making a
U-turn back to the bay to drop anchor with the
other cruisers who'd opted to skip the draft
headaches. We made it just before the gale
overtook us.
