31 July 2013, Stuck in Saint Nicolas, Zakynthos

Stuck in the harbor due to the continuing strong winds, 15-20 m/s. We took a long sweaty walk along the village road upwards in the mountains and ended up in a restaurant “The old windmill” 205m above the sea level with a really amazing view towards mainland and the island Kephalonia. We rewarded ourselves with some ice cold Mythos beers. Sally and Kimberley had fish soup, way too expensive in comparison to its flavor. I had a much more price worthy moussaka which was ok.  In the evening the wind finally dropped. The port authorities came around and distributed the forms amongst the boats they were short of the day before (how can you have a shortage of forms??? – we only got copies anyway). Anyway, we were asked to fill them in with all the details and hand over them to the authorities before departuring the morning after.  I informed them that we were planning to leave early at 07:00, and they responded that they will be open by then.  A nice pasta dinner on-board with some white wine and cognac afterwards completed a nice day.
