TUESDAY 19th JUNE 2012.
After one and a half days sailing from Alexandria through the
Mediterranean s in strong winds and white capped seas we reached the Greek
island of Mykonos in the Aegean Sea this morning with wind blowing at nearly 60
knots.
Mykonos is a tendered in Port which required the ship to be anchored
off shore. Due to the extremely high winds and rough seas off the island the
ship’s captain decided to abort the landing in Mykonos, so unfortunately we
missed the day in Mykonos and continued on to our next port of Instanbul.
Later in the day we had the opportunity to sail through the Dardanelles
in daylight hours. This is an extremely narrow channel 23 kms long and 1km wide
between the Aegean Sea and the Sea of
Marmara leading to Instanbul, which is usually travelled at night.
Tomorrow is the day for Instanbul Turkey.
