Platamonas to Skiathos, 27 May

We set course for Skitaloss at 0550

The Marina office and cafe shine brightly in the night. 

We decided to travel the whole way to Skiathos today, 8-10 hours because according to the weather report bad weather is heading our way on Thursday. Started off quite fine. Could just pick out Mt Athos on the horizon..

After about 2 hours, tomorrow's weather arrived early. The clouds were hanging low, black and cigar shaped, filled with lightning, rain an wind. The mountain range Pillion on our starboard with peaks up to 1500 m creates this type of local weather. 

It must be noted that this is a very beautiful and dramatic coastline.

At last, Skiathos in sight!

What a wonderful surprise meeting up with friends ( ex colleague) from Malmö.
