Apologies for the lack of updates over the last 3 weeks, we have covered a lot of ground since leaving the Aegean and getting back to the Ionian. While going around the bottom of the Pennopolese we very rarely found any decent wi-fi we could pickup from the boat, also we have been pushing on quite a bit, never staying more than a night, and some times only a few hours. So my blogging totally went by the way-side.
Now we are back in the Ionian, we are heading to Vassiliki tomorrow and plan to stay there for a few days while some jobs get done on the boat, including repairing the mainsail. I'll fill in the gaps when we're there.

Then we are going to tackle our first long offshore crossing to Sicily (2 days at sea) to meet my brother Will and his wife Alice who are coming to stay for a week.
It's going to be sad to leave Greece, as this is where our adventure started out, but also exciting to move on to the next stage and start really heading West. We're very excited about having lots of decent pizza and red wine. Greek food is nice, but after two and a half months it gets a bit repetitive.
