Sunday 22nd and Monday 23rd May, Messolonghi to Sarakiniko Bay, Itheka
Being in Messolonghi, it’s a shortish? passage to Ithaka, although with virtually no wind it turned out to be a 30 mile slog on the engine for 90% of the way. We headed into Sarakiniko bay on Itheka and dropped…
Saturday 21st May 2022, Another day in Messolonghi

Sunday 15th May Varko Bay to Kalamos
With mill pond conditions we motored the dozen or so miles to Kalamos. Just round the top of the island we were entertained by 3 dolphins playing round the bow for a quarter of an hour. Then stern to with…

After a final top up of provisions, which included a couple of striped Sea Bream, plus 3 unknown fish steaks that the fish monger threw in for free we were off! Once out of the Preveza channel we had an…
