Limnos Island most western point

This shows the rocky shore at the north and west of Limnos Island. You can see the white water breaking on the lowest rocks and the dark line where the high tide stops. This was a calm day on the sea, although we had a following wind from Samothraki that blew up to Beaufort 4. These rocks are typical of the Aegean Sea. The local wisdom is that the depth of the sea is determined by the steepness of the shore line. A sharp, steep shore means a deep ocean floor close to land, and a shallow shore means a shallow ocean floor. That means we could sail close to these rocks without fear of grounding.
