Monday 10th August, Santa Maria di Leuca to Othonoi (Greece)

A 50 mile run from the very tip of the heel of Italy, due east to the small Greek island of Othonoi, and with F4 northerlies for most of the morning we had a great sail for half the passage until the wind dropped. We moored up along side a wooden jetty believing it to be free, but soon hit with a €30 mooring fee! We should have anchored in the bay. This does, however, have water and on the other side if you moor up by the concrete you will get both water and electricity.
A beautiful little village. We enjoyed a beer in iced glasses whilst watching the children playing in the traffic-less street. But with extended families sat with us in the taverna and on street furniture it was impossible for the youngsters to misbehave. As soon as they did the elderly grandmother only had to walk nearby and they stopped.
