Still the Meltemi blows from the north with 20 to 30 knot gusts, so again we headed north to the harbour of Karavos, where weather predictions suggest that the Meltemi effects should be reduced owing to the greater width of…

We’d tried to make an earlyish start from Porto Lafia , but as we turned the plotter on, it decided to do a factory reset. An hour later and after lots of swearing, we were on our way heading further…

Another one night anchorage, again after motoring north against the wind for 5 miles, into the sheltered bay of Porto Lafia. Sheltered from waves, but with the northerly Meltemi doing its best we still experienced 30+knot gusts hammering into the…
