Our Morning sail takes us to Formicula and we take the dinghy ashore to a deserted village which was abandoned after the1953 earthquake. Two buildings had olive presses, one would have been donkey powered. They must have been superstitious as we could not figure out why they didn't rebuild. Neighboring villages did keep the church going and it is now being renovated. We have lunch then take off for One House Bay on Atokos where we can snorkel and spend the night. Today we can sail without engines so Ewout and guys hoist both sails; sailing is hard work but very peaceful.
The rocky shore at our destination is perfect for snorkeling and I even dive and swim through a hole on the rock. Our sister boat Sensation arrives and we socialize in the warm waters (28c). Some go kayaking and some catch up on correspondence!!. Full moon tonight, shines on the white cliffs and makes us think we may be in heaven. This is one the most beautiful spots I've been in my life. So lucky and thankful!
