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…
Wednesday 6th to Wednesday 13th July, a week with Clive and Pippa
We’d been loitering around North Itheka in preparation for a week with Clive and Pippa, picking them up from Vasiliki on Lefkada with nights in Sivota, Big Vathi, Kastos, Kalamos, Port Athini on Meganisi, Palairos, and finally Lefkas. What a…
Tuesday 5th July, Ormos Ay Nikolaos
Another anchorage, this time with other boats and two long lines ashore, in a large bay just north of Frikes. Nothing too interesting other than in the morning a couple of lads and 5 girls who were camping behind bushes,…
Monday 4th July, Bay just south of Foki Bay, Itheka
We left the bustle of Fiscardo and dropped the anchor in Foki Bay to take the tender and a torch across to the caves and tunnels we’d not been able to access by foot 2 days earlier, without walking boots…
Saturday 2nd Monday 4th July, Fiscardo
We arrived in Fiscardo around lunchtime expecting the place to be heaving but found a spot on the Town Quay wall literally an arms length from restaurant tables on the pavement. It’s a thriving village with ferries and tourist boats…
