Sunday 20th September, Lefkas marina to Preveza
At least last Thursday morning was OK weather wise when Dimitris came on board to discuss a solar panel and davit gantry where based on his experience was able to give us an acceptable price. The down side is that…
Wednesday 16th to Sunday 20th September, Vliho Bay to Lefkas marina
With Medicane Ianos forecast to hit the Ionian area at the end of the week we decided to seek shelter in a marina. A medicane is a Mediterranean hurricane. The online booking system at Lefkas said they were fully booked…
Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th September Vliho Bay to Sailing Holidays pontoon
In need of a battery top up we opted for a night on the Sailing Holidays pontoon at the entrance to Vliho Bay, and the opportunity to meet with a couple of stainless steel fabricators to discuss making a solar…
Sunday 13th September, Barbarazou Beach Bay to Vliho bar
We’d heard that the Vliho Yacht club did good Sunday roasts, so we decided to give it a go and anchored up again in Vliho bay. We were not disappointed! For €9.95 succulent roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and…

Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th September, Astakos
Getting low on water and battery power, we moved on to Astakos, an untouristy small fishing town on the mainland, but with free mooring for about a dozen yachts, free water and free electricity and no obligation to eat in…
Sunday 6th and Monday 7th September, Kalimos
At breakfast the wasps were waiting, so with all hatches sealed we ate below and eventually raised anchor and motored the 2 miles along the coast, leaving the b. ggers behind. Kalamos Port was relatively quite when we arrived, although…

With light winds forecast for tonight we decided to move on with a good sail round the top of Meganisi and round the bottom of Kalamos to anchor at Port Leone. This was a small village destroyed by an earthquake…
Friday 5th September, Vliho Bay to Sivota to Vliho Bay
With potential strong winds forecast again for Friday night we decided we would anchor here again tonight. Before this we decided to get out of the bay for a while and sail down to Sivota to see how crowded it…
