The original plan for October/November was cruising slowly through the Dodecanese and Cyclades islands back to Argolida.
From Nysiros we continued to Astipalaia, anchored first in Maltezana, before we changed to Ormos Livadhi to explore Skala.

Several times a day we checked the weather forecast and we realized something nasty is going to develope. First we thought about the option to go to one of the well sheltered anchorages at Paros, which we know pretty well. But as it seems the stormy winds will blow across the Aegean Sea for one week, we decided to avoid it alltogether and go back to Porto Heli. This is a screen shot from the windyty forecast for next Tuesday, October 27.
In three long legs we sailed from Ormos Livadhi to Porto Heli, spenting the night at anchor in Iraklia and Sifnos Ormos Vathi.
