29TH September- 1st October
 
   Well what a small world this sailing lark is.Sailed into Vathi bay only to find 'Far Out' anchored close to the harbour wall.We have not seen Rick and Barbara since our trip to Panama.
Once we had gotten ourselves sorted out they came over in their dinghy to catch up with all that has happened since we last met.They have been here for quite a few days and so are keen to show us around the quaint town.

             Whatever tickles your fancy!!!!
 
The island of Ithaca isbelieved to be the mythical home of Homers Odysseus.Much of the area was devastated by an earthquake in 1953 and many of the villages were rebuilt.
Had a pleasant stroll around the very pretty narrow streets soaking up the atmosphere.
 
The next day went off in the dinghy with Rick and Barbara to one of the many coves to see if we could find some octupus to catch water very clear but quite cold.Unfortunately we were unsuccessful in our quest so it looks like salad for supper!!!
