Tuesday 26th July, Liftout at Actio marina
We motored the mile across from Preveza to Actio marina hoping for an early liftout. However despite our well intended plans, owing to Actio’s poorly managed lift out control, another boat nipped into the Dock as we were lifting our…
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…
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…
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…
Thursday 21st July, Lefkas
As we’re being lifted out in Preveza next Tuesday while we return to the UK for a month to avoid the heat and the arrival of the ‘cavalier’ type of Italian sailor, this was our last opportunity to pick up…
Tuesday 19th and Wednesday 20th July, Wild Bay
Not really sure what this bay is called, our charts call it Vathi Vali and Google maps call it Wild bay. The bay is on the mainland opposite Nidri and after a slow sail across we anchored up in what…
Monday 18th July IBA pontoon, Nidri
We’d booked on here to meet Dimitris, the stainless steel expert who built our gantry. Whilst he was happy to make a passerelle bracket for the stern of Jacana, he was less happy modifying the ladder, suggesting we buy a…
Sunday 17th July, Palairos
Another anchorage, this time a few hundred metres to the north of Palairos harbour. Once the wind died down we ventured ashore in the tender tying it securely to a lamp post in the inner corner of the harbour. After…
Friday 15th to Sunday 17th July, Ligia anchorage
We’ve arranged to meet Dimitris the stainless steel man that built our solar panel gantry last year on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week in Nidri to discuss making a bracket and fitting for our ‘ladder’ passerelle (fancy name for…
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…
