Wednesday 6th to Wednesday 13th July, a week with Clive and Pippa

Wednesday 13th to Friday 15th July, Lefkas

A couple of days of catching up after saying our farewells to Clive and Pippa on one of the Town Quay pontoons, which it turns out are a reasonable €9 per night, and even better value as we were only…

Monday 18th July IBA pontoon, Nidri

Friday 22nd July, Preveza Town Quay

Just a one night stop on the Town Quay before we spend a couple of nights exploring the inland sea beyond Preveza. This time a quieter part of the quay than previous visits. Also on the quay was Pala, another…

Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th July, Koronisia

We left Preveza lunchtime and sailed downwind for about 10 miles to the isolated village of Koronisia with its very shallow harbour with depths ranging from 2 to 2.5 m. Unfortunately the inner harbour was full with 4 other sailing…

Monday 25th July, Preveza anchorage

We left Koronisia and started motoring against the slight headwind back towards Preveza but soon decided to stop off for a swim and lunch anchored off the Vouvalos islands. By 2pm the wind had picked up to 15-20 knts and…
