Waited for a window to sail the last stretch to Greece - a distance of 50 nm. The wind was reduced to very little from the morning and the forecast was that it would be calm all day. After getting fuel on board, I sailed off early. The swells from the night's strong winds were still there and it did not get better that 2 wave systems met next to the horn. During the day the waves became smaller. Arrived at the Greek island of Othoi late in the afternoon in a very small port. When I was going to cook some food, I talked to the harbor master, who said that the harbor was not good with the weather that was coming. In fact, almost dangerous. Recommended me to sail to another island. I did so and arrived 2 hours later in the dark. It was otherwise a pity. Mythology tells that Kalypso on this island kept Odysseus captive as a lover for 7 years.

The harbor is well protected, but the storm as expected has still not arrived this morning. According to the weather report, it is not so violent and it seems that the island is located just outside the zone where it blows the most. That's fine. It just tells that weather forecasts are very dynamic. However, there will be a lot of wind today so I will stay here on the island and enjoy the next few days. I had a COVID issue around some formalities that I had not got a solution to this morning. But the sweet harbor master assistant helped me. She filled out all the documents so I just had to sign and email. I must have looked like someone who needed help. You get far by looking helpless. It's her summer vacation job. On Sunday, she returns to Athens and continues her studies.
