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…
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…
