Last night was very bumpy in Lakka after a very stormy day with the small bay packed with boats on anchor. Andy spent most of the night up checking that our anchor had not slipped or that someone else’s boat hadn’t slipped into us.

 

Eventually it calmed after dawn. Came down to Gaios on Paxos at lunch time today. Rob had a quick swim to retrieve a bikini that fell off the washing line then after lunch we put Rob and Anna on the hydrofoil to get back to Corfu for their flight tonight. On leaving, Rob did comment that the white smoke coming out the roof exhaust looked a bit suspect….but got on anyway. However did receive a text from Anna to say that in fact they had lost an engine on the way back to Corfu and had limped back with a lot of concerned passengers.

 

All calm in Gaios tonight so hoping for a full 8hrs sleep rather than the waking on the hour every hour that we’ve had for the last 2 nights.
