Turning back

Odin crashes into the waves and spray flies all over the deck.
Up to 30 knots of wind and the corresponding waves are from the south-west.
Crap, because that's exactly the course we need to run.
We try to cross, but hardly make up any distance. What to do? Ride a roller coaster for 60 hours or head north?
We decide the second and sail back to Turkey.
Now we are lying illegally in a beautiful bay, have built a grill on the beach, sizzle chicken wings, drink rosé and relax.
We hope that the wind will change a bit tomorrow and then we will reach Crete non-stop in two days and nights.
