Sunday 18th to Sunday 25th September, Vliho, Nidri, Sivota, Big Vathi and Kioni
From Vliho we headed out to sea to empty the holding tank, and returned to the fuel station just north of Nidri to top up with Diesel (135 litres at €1.99) and then tied up on the IBA pontoon to…
Sunday 11th to Sunday 18th September, Vliho, Kastos, Varko, Palairos and Vliho
Overall this was a relaxing week, starting out anchored in Vliho, and of course Sunday roast at the Yacht Club (it’s not actually a club, is just the name of the place). However on asking for horseradish to go with…
Sunday 4th to Saturday 10th September, Following Fern
This week we decided to follow Fern (my daughter) on her first ever skippering of a flotilla boat. However, her first night was Monday in Sivota, a night when every flotilla in the Ionian visits the village, so we ended…
Saturday 3rd to Sunday 4th September, Varko Bay and Palairos.
With the wind forecast to be from the NE we settled on anchoring in the NE corner of Varko Bay, just up from all the beach parasols. As night fell we could hear the thud thud thud of the music…
Monday 29th August to Friday 2nd September 2022, lifting, Preveza, Lefkas and anchored off Ligia
Well we took off from Gatwick an hour late, landed on Preveza slightly late, and got to Jacana at 10pm. Fortunately the taxi was able to drop us literally under the anchor, otherwise the trek across Actio dirt track yard…
Wednesday 27th July To Weymouth
With just a couple of rucksacks we actually walked to the airport, and saved ourselves the €15 taxi fare for the mile journey and enjoyed a relaxing breakfast at the cafe opposite the airport entrance. Today is a rail strike…
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…
