Tuesday 24th to Thursday 26th August, Varko Bay
Varko is a sheltered Bay across to the east of Nidri on the mainland, and it was the chance to catch up with Gwen and Pete for the first time this year and also Rob and Lizzie. So a very…
Thursday 26th to Saturday 28th August 2021, Vliho (again)
Dropping the sails off Nidri, we immediately tied up (stern to with anchor) on the town quay to pop into George’s chandlery to pick up the repair kit for the Whale pump, which came in from Athens moments after we…
Saturday 28th to Tuesday 31st August , Meganisi
So 2 nights in Abeliki Bay, in the shelter of the forecast northwesterlies, anchored with 2 lines ashore, tied to convenient trees and bushes. However the view in the bay was ‘ruined’ with the very ugly super yacht ‘Elada’ moored…
Tuesday 31st August to Saturday 4th September, Kastos and Kalamos

It’s Lizzie’s birthday (Thursday) so an excuse for a meal together at the Vliho Yacht Club, along with 16 or so of their other friends. A great evening and a chance for us to meet up with other Brits. We’ve…

Sunday 26th to Thursday 30th September Velcro Bay and Sivota
David and Yvonne left us in Preveza at 0930, so a chance to drop off the laundry on a side street a few yards from Jacana and collect it cleaner an hour or so later. By 1 o’clock we were…
