Tuesday 9th to Wednesday 10th May, Poros, Kefalonia
Like the proverbial mill pond today, so motored the 20 miles south from Big Vathi to the ferry town of Poros near the southern end of Kefalonia. But at least the harbour wall had taps, so we were able to…
Sunday 7th to Tuesday 9th May, 2 nights in Big Vathi, Itheca
We left Vliho mid morning and had a half decent sail (ie motoring for half the time!) for the 20mile passage south to Big Vathi, where we were expecting to be able to fill up with water. However as we…
Friday 5th to Sunday 7th May, Vliho Bay and the Coronation
Leaving the Lefkas canal, we found a little bit of wind and had a gentle down wind sail right into Vliho Bay. Saturday was Coronation day, so we booked a table at the Yacht Club ‘event’ to watch it on…
Monday 1st to Friday 5th May, stuck in Lefkas
We upped anchor in Hospital Bay at 10am for the 9 mile journey south to Lefkas, via the 12 o’clock bridge opening. As is usual in the Ionian, there was no morning wind, so it was a matter of motoring…
Wednesday 26th to Sunday 30th April, Warm beer in Preveza
Well the fridge could have stopped working in the middle of nowhere! And there’s nothing worse than warm beer after a good sail, so it was in a way fortuitous that it packed up in Preveza, more so on the…
Wednesday 26th April, Lift in and Preveza
After continuing with the many routine jobs, and of course leaving a few for those ‘rainy days’ (ha ha) lift in morning came round quickly, and even quicker on the day, when the lift in gang turned up over an…
Wednesday 19th April 2023, Back in Greece
Well we’re back in Greece, having delayed our flight deliberately to just miss the Greek Easter celebrations (a week later than our Easter). Unfortunately Cleopatra’s Marina is inaccessible unless you have a car, your boat is on water, or if…
Wednesday 12th to Sunday 16th October 2022, Liftout
We left Lefkas and caught the 9 o’clock floating bridge opening for a final fairly slow sail towards Preveza allowing the sails to dry following yesterday’s rain. Once tied up to Preveza Town Quay we started getting Jacana ready for…
Friday 30th September to Tuesday 11th October 2022, sailing with Philip, Ellie, Rory, James and Hayley.
We met everyone in Nidri on Friday evening with Philip, Ellie and Rory staying for the night in a hotel in Nidri and James and Hayley on board and on Saturday taking everyone across to Meganissi where again Philip and…
Sunday 25th to Friday 30th September, Kioni, Vliho, Lefkas, Nidri.
Another quiet few days whilst we await the arrival of Philip, Ellie, Rory, James and Hayley on Friday and with forecast wet and windy weather we left Kioni on Monday via Desimi Bay (located halfway up the Meganisi channel) for…
