We motored the 7 miles north to enjoy our final anchorage in West Archangelos Bay, and an evening meal in its tavernas, the only building on the small island. With liftout scheduled for 8 on Saturday morning we awoke early…

Mindful for the need of a new tender, we arranged 3 nights in Lakki Marina. On arriving, we were directed into the most difficult berth in the marina, being between 2 boats in the corner at right angles to each…

With the wind behind us, we had a decent sail from Lipsi to Lakki Harbour where we had a night at anchor just outside Lakki, by the pizza taverna, along with a dozen or so others. And a chance to…
