39:46.0N 19:56.90E Tuesday 26 Wednesday 27 August Pit stop at stifling Gouvia to drop Ang, do oil change, laundry, sm shop and get out to Old Fort anchorage Tuesday 26 Depart Ay Stefanos 1400 Arrive Gouvia 1430 9nm M2. Skip and Jane treck to S on road that winds thro pretty terraced olive groves with many well camouflaged luxury villas. Up anchor, stop in tiny bay 1m to S with private pontoon, posh boats, surrounded by groomed foliage and sensible notices pointing out the land is private, asking visitors to not have BBQs and respect the peace and tranquillity. Ang`s last swim. Motor on to v hot Gouvia. Fortunately get on pleasant L pontoon as need potable water. Not far to loos and swim pool! Head to engineers. Find skips emails (asking to order bits to fit engine water temp gauge) have gone in their spam so nothing set up. So at least we don`t need to hang about awaiting fitter. Busy below exploring bedding locker. See if there is enough linen as will have six on board briefly soon. Have another go at gluing duck to stop water seeping in and air seeping out. Moderate success. Wednesday 27 Depart Gouvia 1500 Arrive Anchorage under Corfu Old Fort 1615 5nm M1.25 Ang gets taxi to airport. Skip does oil change but leather spanner won`t move oil filter, so don`t replace.Final sm shop at AB. Buy more units for metered potable water, and fill tanks. Motor to Old Fort anchorage in flat calm. Glad to be away from extreme heat in marina. Disco music not too thumpy or loud again. Luvly night. |
