We started out from Pylos on the Peloponnessos heading for Malta, 350 nm west. It was a nice day but with very little wind so we motorsailed again. After a day the wind picked up and we could sail. The forecast for the four days we expected the sail should take was good but on the fifth day the forecast said gregale which is a strong northeasterly wind. We were a bit afraid that we shouldn't make Malta in time but we did.We arrived early in the morning about three o'clock so it was dark when we entered Valetta harbour. We tied up to a buoy and slept a few hours before we went into the marina. Here we had to stay for a week as the gregale soon arrived.
Malta is very nice with it's old history and as the english had been there not much had changed during the centuries.
The army museum is intressting as Malta is at a crossing where everybody wants to be.
We also celebrated our fortyith wedding anniversary at "Mama Mia", un excellent restaurant in the harbour.
