An action packed trip to Idra

Idra does not allow cars, they do not allow motorcycles, they do not allow bicycles, the only modes of transport besides boat is donkey and donkey cart. Idra is one of Europe's two cities known as truly living museums. In an effort to protect and preserve the town comprised entirely of buildings more than 500 years old, the government and residents have decided on keeping the island completely pedestrian. We arrived Idra tonight at around 5:00 pm. I got a little time to walk around the town just after we arrived, the village is idealistic and seriously captures the essence of a historic Med island village.
Our journey here from Athens was eventful. The departure this morning was gargled. The radio talk did not go smoothly, and communication is a must for the crew when maneuvering a vessel of this size in close quarters. A strong wind just outside the harbor caught us with our awnings up, and we did break one support but fixed it in quick time. Next we anchored in a secluded harbor near to the island of Idra, in a spot that was a little too windy. The afternoon wind pattern gave way to an afternoon thundershower system moving by, and the wind shift force us back on our anchor and too close to shore. It took some quick thinking, and actions in order to raise anchor, get the yacht moving, and keep order of the jetski and kayaks trailing behind the stern on a line.
The trip to Idra from our cove was quick, and it was a crazy feeling tyeing up such a massive yacht in the little harbor of Idra. On the way over, the door to the Starboard side of the bridge broke, 2 of the 4 dogs that close the door tightly broke. It took us the rest of the evening to dissassemble the door, take it off the hinges, fix it, and put it back together and back on the boat in a working fashion. I have only just finished, and I can tell how tired I am getting by how much more I am hitting the backspace button. Ha, I may just cut this message a little short and get some sleep. Tommorow is a very early day with a 5 hour passage to another of the Greek islands. We will be off the dock early, but were enticed by a possibility to rest during the trip.
