Pandelimion pollution

[whiteoaks7]

...so there we were hoping to spend a quiet night in one of our favorite little anchorages, Pandelimion, near Astokos when we find it's now home to an oil tanker and two wrecks, one of which is spilling its innards into the bay. Fancy eating fish from the farm?

Why and how do the Greeks get away with this? The wrecks were clearly moved there and dumped - they're not accidents. The oil tanker must have been moved in with a shoehorn. Is there an authority that oversees this?

Add the long drawn out saga of Trisonia and the crowded hulks in Argostoli and you start to get a bleak picture.

Okay - I'll go rant somewhere else now

Very strange situation. We like the bay, too, and have anchored there several times. On each occasion a man from the fish farm motored in to check that we had not left any rubbish behind that might upset their fish. Hard to believe that they would allow dumping of wrecks there.

The merchant vessel was there in May last year so assume it has not moved since then. It had a crew on it then. The ketch was also there then but looked as if it had been blown onto the rocks in a strong southerly. Shame as it looked to be a nice boat. I was there yesterday (5May) hoping to anchor in the southern bay but there did not seem to be enough room and certainly not a nice ambiance. The northern bays were to exposed to a 25 KT westerly so onto Astakos.
