We left Kalamos after two lovely days.  We had swam, walked, lunched and had a super relaxing time.  We watched the Sailing Holidays and Sun Sail boats and their flocks come and go before we left and managed to sail 9 of the 18 miles.

 

We arrived in Nidri expecting to meet up with the sail repair lady but she was missing for most of the day.  The sail cover stitching has started to rip due to the hot sun we have been experiencing for the last few weeks.  We caught up with her the next morning and within a few hours it was as good as new and back on Ariel.

 

We met up with Walter and Margaret and were invited to visit one of the nicest restaurants for dinner that they know in the mountains with amazing views over the bays of Nidri and out to the islands of Skorpios and Sparti.  Walter and Margaret travel down to Preveza  in their camper van each year in order for them to travel further inland and to enjoy the scenery on the way down plus bring lots of bits and pieces for the boat.  We had a great meal and the view was to die for.
