Captains orders…leave Zea Marina by 8:30am May 19th. Weather report says calm seas and light winds…Jacquelyn will be very happy. We are headed to Serifos for the night. As we get further away from the mainland, the seas grow to 2 meters and the wind doubles the prediction but we are CRUISING!!! About 10 hours later we are laying anchor in Serifos. It was our first anchoring with the new Fortress anchor because our Delta anchor was lost at sea on the way from Malta. The Fortress wasn’t holding and it was pulling up major clay and weeds…finally it held. 
May 20th. Headed to Ios to leave Jay Sea Dee since there are no recommended marinas on Santorini (which is our ultimate destination). We arrived in Ios at 2:00pm, med- moored and headed to the travel agency to get our Ferry Tickets. They had a large flat screen at the ferry dock which showed activity at the docks. Since we had our AIS system on, JAY SEA DEE had its own pinpoint on the big screen…we were stars for a few moments. 
The Hellenic Ferry Fast Cat 4 took us to Santorini in a half an hour. We found the rental car and headed to our Cave House which will be home for the next 10 days. Lugging huge suitcases down many, many, many stairs was not a good start…much whining for sure! 
John can see moorings off the cliffs and wants to bring Jay Sea Dee over to be moored where he can keep an eye on it.
