22 September – Return to lovely bays on NE tip of Corfu Island and anchor up for night

Depart NAOK 1100

Arrive Ay Stefanos 1315 10nm

Bit cloudy NNWf2

 

Lie in. Bliss. Pressure to do miles between pick ups/drop offs now gone. Duck ashore – get bread, but no sign of Jules (or cucumber/mince). Must be having lie in too.Decide to revisit bays to N first, then head S. Have to drop Duncan off at Parga on mainland next sat. Easy. Not enough wind to sail, so motor all way. Anchor close in so can paddle duck ashore. Ay Stefinos village feels quite classy. Dutch flotilla (tiptopsailing) arrive and go stern to small taverna quay for night. Have difficulty laying danforth style bowers. Go for walk along what appears to be coastal footpath to N. Find cucumber, and more of nice rose. Excellent pasta on board. getting even more chilly. Wear sweatshirt for first time. Almost need trousers. Laid anchor expecting NNW breeze, if any, as none forecast on Poseidon. 0300 f4/5 E blowing in to bay. We’re only 100m from what is now a lee shore. Lay out more chain. Anchor seems to have swung and dug in Germans in a bit closer lifted anchor and headed out to sea, at 0300! Wind dies couple of hours later, so have good sleep from then.
