Monday 01 September. After a two week delay in our return to Greece, we finally get away, paying a brief but pleasant visit to see Karl and Ellie in Buckinghamshire on the way. We flew out to Athens from Terminal 5 Heathrow on this morning's 06:45 BA flight. From Athens City we take 13:45 bus to Preveza where we have left Bootlegger, a journey of some 500 Km. We arrive in Preveza six hours later - after one short pee break at the Corinth Canal, arriving in Preveza at 20:00 hrs. A long day. We find Bootlegger looking well and surprisingly clean after our six week absence. We sleep well. |

Checking our new mainsail purchased locally after our return to Preveza. There is a curl at the top of the leech that cannot be removed with the leech line tensioner which is now to be addressed by suppliers Waypoint Sails |
