Saturday 15th to Monday 17th July, Corinth
Once we’d said our farewells to Fern, a chance to rest and recharge (ourselves, not the batteries) and more importantly, with a launderette not far away, catch up with the laundry. And what a relief, as we’re experiencing a heatwave…
Sunday 9th to Sunday 16th July, A week with Fern
We experienced a superb week with Fern on board, visiting the best of the places we had earmarked the previous 2 weeks. So Monday we did Aegina, Tuesday Vathi, including a taxi ride and walk to Methoni’s still active (by…
Sunday 9th to Monday 10th July, Zea Marina, Piraeus (Athens)
We actually managed to sail most of the way from Kanakia to Zea, avoiding the anchored up oil tankers and then the high speed ferries heading out of Piraeus to the many islands. We chose Zea for the convenience of…
Saturday 8th to Sunday 9th July, Kanakia
As we’re picking Fern up on Sunday in Athens, this is just an anchorage stop near a long, sandy and busy beach to break up the journey.
Friday 7th to Saturday 8th July, New Epidavros (Epidaurus)
Just a 3 mile slow sail north in a gentle morning breeze to the harbour at New (Nea) Epidaurus, and for the first time since Kalamata, lazy (mooring) lines instead of dropping the anchor. So we didn’t really object to…
Wednesday 5th to Friday 7th July, Old Epidavros (Epidaurus)
A slow sail for the 6 miles south to Old Epidavros, a delightful and well protected harbour. We could have anchored but decided to go stern to onto the harbour wall, to make use of any available free water tap!…
Tuesday 4th to Wednesday 5th July, Korfos
No wind as we headed west from Agistri to the mainland, this time to Korfos. We attempted to tie up to the wall outside Papa George’s Taverna, but in no uncertain terms he told us to go and anchor. There’s…
Friday 30th June to Tue 4th July, 4 days in 3 anchorages
We needed a few days away from charter boats, shouting and incompetent skippers (not that we’re always perfect), so Friday night we anchored in a sheltered bay behind Perdika. Saturday we moved to the island of Agistri to anchor in…
Thursday 29th to Friday 30th June, Perdika, Aegina
We got into Perdika early and had the choice of prime positions on the harbour wall. Then the fun started as the cross winds picked up and the charter boats started arriving. Lots of shouting from all quarters, but the…
Tuesday 27th to Thursday 29th June, Vathi, Methani
This is a lovely picturesque small harbour situated under Methani’s volcano which last erupted in about 1700. Mooring up stern to, was a challenge in a brisk cross wind, but successful on a second attempt. Like other harbours in this…
