Make sure that you have enough fuel, water and food provisions when planning to go to uninhabited islands like Peristera and Kyra Panagia. The winds in the Sporades are mainly northerly - usually up to force 5. We suggest courses that follow the southern coastlines of the islands, as they are well protected from the northerly winds, and have safe places to anchor/moor. The northern coastlines have stronger winds, higher waves and steep rocks. To ensure safe anchoring, it’s best to use the entire length of the anchor chain (60m), and secure the yacht with a line from a stable point on the shore. During sailing, you should have the inflatable dinghy and the outboard engine secured aboard the yacht, in order to avoid any risk of losing them. Sail Aegean l www.sailaegean.eu l [email protected].
