Onwards to Gaios - island of Paxos

Great sail across the Straits from Petriti to Paxos - Broad Reach in 18 knots - Lerryn Lady scooted along happy to be sailing, as were we. En route we had a Minoan Cruise ship cross our bows. This is what that information looks like on our navigational screen below:

 The dotted red line is our set course that day. The little red boat shape is us, the BIG red triangle to the right of us ( partially eclipsed by the black info box) is a Minoan Cruise ship. The blue triangle to the left and below us is another yacht called 'Bergfjord'. You can see our position on the planet is N39"08.488' E20'19.513. We are sailing, Cruise ship is motoring at 25.3 knots, he gives way to us. At this point in time the Cruise ship is 809 metres to our Port side ( left). He can see us on his screen as well. Sea depth is 120 metres. Continuing on this course the nearest that Cruise ship will get to us is 787m in about 18 seconds time - then he's gone :O)
 Here's she is off to our Port side, 800m away and  travelling at 25 knots - schedules and all that!


And here she's crossing our bow.
