So an early (for us) departure at 0930, and a motor literally round the corner to anchor off Glyfa Beach for a couple of hours, where Ann went for her first, and still very cold dip of the year. Then…

Another one night stop to the small and picturesque harbour of Steni Vala, just a few miles north west of Patitiri. Unfortunately, the harbour has large rocks in places against the wall but below the surface so we ended up…

Just a 1 night reconnaissance visit (discovered a fishing shop that Stu might be interested in) and stern to onto quay. Patitiri is fairly picturesque, although being the ferry port for Allonissos, it’s quite busy, and in fact one of…

Just one night at a very peaceful anchorage, and a run ashore to walk to the small Venetian tower overlooking the bay and a drink in the only open Taverna, of about 10 in the village. We wonder when the…

Just 7 miles of motoring across from the mainland back to Evia, this time the small village of Oreoi. Our first, and successful stern to mooring of the year onto the sheltered harbour wall. Not a great deal here, other…

Well we did manage a slow sail for a couple of hours until the wind died completely, so we motored round the north west corner of Evia to anchor in the very sheltered Vathykelos Bay for a couple of nights….
