Tuesday 22nd September Mongonissi to Mandraki, Corfu
Another motor sailing day to take us to Corfu to meet with Dina on Wednesday at Gouvia marina to pick up the repaired winter boat cover that suffered in the 9 months of Mistral winds at Port Napoleon. Arriving at…
Monday 21st September, Preveza to Mongonissi, Paxos
Continuing north to Corfu, we anchored in the very picturesque and very well sheltered Mongonissi bay.
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

Thursday 10th to Friday 11th September, Kastos

Tuesday 8th and Wednesday 9th September, Astakos

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…
