Anchored on Kalami Beach, taken some great photos which I will upload the next time I have broadband access.  I am sending this blog via the Sat phone to get some practice at using the connection.
 
We're one of two yachts in a beautiful bay, looking across at the Albanian mountains.  The water temperature is 21.5 degs and unlike the Imerolia swim was very refreshing - not bracing!  We have had several swallows landing with a couple of feet of us on the guardrails, I think they want to make a nest in the sailcover.  We can see an enormous cruise ship in the far distance and heading our way, probably to pass between Corfu and Albania.  I've just checked the AIS and it is the Nieuw Amsterdam and it will pass within 0.6 of a mile of us in 22 minutes time - should cause quite a wash.
 
It is about 25 degs today and we will be having a sundowner shortly and eating in the cockpit.
