Friday 1st July, Kalo Limani
After a lunch stop in one of the many bays North of Agia Effimia, we motored another mile or so as the wind began to pick up on our bow, so rather than fighting it, we dropped into the next…
Thursday 30th June, Agia Effimia, Kefalonia
We motored for about a mile against a strong southerly and as we rounded the bottom of Itheka the wind duly dropped and we continued to motor across the channel into Agia Effimia, our first visit to Kefalonia with Jacana….
Wednesday 29th June, Rat Island, Itheka
We’d intended to anchor in a little bay just to the north of Rat Island, but it was full with 2 yachts so instead moored up stern to with the anchor on the mole on the Island. Apparently the very…
Tuesday 28th June, Cliff Bay, Atikos
The plan now is to meet up with Clive and Pippa in 8 days time in Vasiliki, so we thought we’d go spend the next week going up between Itheka and Kefalonia and back round the top to Lefkada. Between…
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,…
