Saturday 5th to Saturday 12th August, Vliho, Sivota, Vliho

Now that we are in the southern Ionian we’re only going to write weekly blog updates unless something exceptional happens.

So with no wind and a vibrating prop shaft we motored slowly across to Vliho Bay, taking the opportunity to catch up on R&R, and do a bit of walking and shopping ashore.

On Tuesday we decided to go up to North Nidri and refuel and top up the water tanks and in doing so had a great impromptu sail half way across to Palairos and back.

Friday we sailed/motored down to Sivota to Yannis’ Ionian Taverna to experience a Red Snapper shared between us (a bit expensive at €49 just for the fish) but very good, then back to Vliho on Saturday to anchor off the Elena Taverna.

We’ve also booked IBA to fit a new cutless bearing this coming Wednesday at one of the boatyards in Vliho which will hopefully stop the prop vibration. Liftout time tba.
