Rescued by Coast Guard...

We sailed all morning and made to Siros island midday as the wind started to gust at 25-30 kn. Just aswe were planning to enter to harbour the engine failed with cooling water problem. With the wind picking up we had no alternative but to call Coast Guard for rescue. They sent a boat which pulled us to the harbour and we got tied in front of Port Authority. The wind is still blowing gusts but Dafne and us are now safe and secure. We will fix the water cooling problem and then show it to Port Authority's specialist mechanic that it safe to go, then we will be allowed to depart. The good news is that the wind is expected to slow down tomorrow onwards. Hopefully it will be a smoother run to Bodrum than onwards...
