29/6 From Santorini to Mykonos and then as Far as Corfu
We start at sunrise. The wind at 2000 ft stabilizes at around 40 kt. Of course directly against us, how else. We arrive at Mykonos after an hour and twenty minutes. We refuel avgas and go to start again. Nothing to boast of. The wind has some 20 kt and with gusts even over 30 kt. The landing has been difficult too, but Sting managed well. We call our destination airport to make sure there is not the same strong wind blowing crosswise. There is not - Athens are in still air. We cannot believe that. We ascend to the 2000-ft level as usually and fly against 40-kt wind again. After some 50 miles, the wind gets calmer and suddenly it has only half its strength. Mykonos and Santorini are just the world`s windy bowels.

28/6 Flying round Santorini
Santorini really is a beautiful island. We are not at all sorry for our one-day delay. During the day, we make inquiries concerning tomorrow morning weather forecast and negotiate early evening flight-around. We gradually become experts on local procedures. We can ask all by ourselves for all the papers we need, without which they don`t let us get over the single steps of airport security. We hand over a local flight plan, wait for an autobus which drives us those hundred meters towards our aircraft, and start the engine in the late afternoon.
