Saturday 25th to Monday 27th June, Vliho and Little Vathi Meganisi
A couple more nights of relaxation in the relatively safe Vliho Bay, and guess what, its Sunday!, so roast pork at the Vliho Yacht club. The outboard engine has still been running very poorly so a third attempt at cleaning…
Wednesday 22nd to Saturday 25th June, Lefkas and Varko Bay
We waved our farewells to Fern Wednesday morning, and caught up with a few necessities such as laundry, restocking (for some reason we’re now light on wine!) and taking our winter boat cover round to Waypoint Sails at the Marina…
Wednesday 15th to Wednesday 23rd June, A week with Fern
A brilliant week doing some of the many highlights of the southern Ionian. We started at Preveza, went through the Lefkas Canal to Sivota, then Frikes on Itheka, Kalamos, Kastos, Port Athini on Meganisi and finally Lefkas. We even managed…
Tuesday 14th to Wednesday 15th June, Preveza Town Quay
We decided to head for Preveza a day before Fern’s arrival to guarantee that we got onto the Town Quay. If necessary we would have anchored for the night round the corner and waited for a space to appear on…
Mon 13th June, Varko Bay
En route to Preveza, an overnight anchor in Varko Bay and a brief swim. The sea has started to warm up! Paul actually went in!! Tonight’s meal was interesting. We’d run out of rice so we had the defrosted curry…
Sat 11th to Mon 13th June, Vliho bay
We anchored off Nidri for a couple of hours to buy some bread and meat and then anchored in the calm of Vliho Bay for 2 nights, and of course took advantage of Sunday roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese,…
Friday 10th June Little Vathi, Meganisi
This is where Philip, Ellie and Rory are staying when they visit in October, so after mooring up opposite the marina (stern to with anchor and more importantly, free) we walked round the harbour to see where they had booked….
Thursday 9th June, Sivota, Lefkada
We’re now heading slowly towards Preveza to meet Fern on Wednesday. We had originally planned to meet up with John and Anne on Corfu on Sunday and then Fern on Wednesday, however the timeliness of getting our residency permits and…
Wednesday 8th June Filatrou Bay Itheka
We actually managed to sail half of the 30 mile passage to Itheka on a decent broad reach until the wind totally dropped. At about 4, we arrived at Itheka and headed for the first sheltered beach for a cool…
Sunday 5th to Wednesday 8th June, Messolonghi
We arrived in Messolonghi Marina early afternoon and immediately indulged in a relaxing cold beer in the marina taverna. Monday morning, up at 7 to catch the 0830 bus to Agrinio although just as well we got to the bus…
