Yes, I enjoy these too. Thanks.The number of moorings in the bay has increased to 21 The proliferation of mooring buoys can be a curse. They often use up so much of the bay that it's impossible to anchor, forcing you to take one - which is presumably the idea. But you've no idea whether they're strong enough for anything more than a flat calm. I remember using one once - a huge orange thing with the name of the restaurant written on it. When we went ashore there was another one just like it on the beach - the rope had broken. Do we eat or move, we wonder? Do you know Leros? Odd place, not very Greek with its Italian buildings. There's a museum, all in Greek, about the WWII Battle of Leros. And up in the hills are barrack blocks - some with cartoon murals. Odd connections: I read yesterday that the rocket engine that will put the Juno spacecraft into orbit around Jupiter on Tuesday is a 'Leros 1b'. Built near here in Buckinghamshire by Moog Inc, a company founded by a cousin of the synthesiser guy.
