Richard on deck in Moudros Harbor, Limnos Island

Lenny, Peter and I sailed CHARLIE into Moudros Harbor after a rough sail around the southern tip of Limnos and into the largest bay in the Aegean. It is here, in Moudros Bay that the entire Allied fleet hid from the Turkish Navy in the Gallipoli Invasion. There is a lovely plaque in the harbor that commemorates the Australian war dead from that war. It was warm in the town and we took a long walk to buy Peter a good sun hat. We sat in the local hotel and were treated to the stories by the old men of the war. You can see by my clothing that the weather was very comfortable, although it was rough on the sea.
