40 20 21 N 19 28 25 E Orikum - The only marina in Albania (do not go there)
It was an very early start from Sarande this morning, 5:15.
62 Nm and 11 hours later we arrived in Orikum. A tiny deserted marina. New but looks like shit.
Yes guys we sailed through this. Shouldn't be any problem anymore but still it's stated like this on our new Avionics charts.
Scary. 6000 mines was destroyed recently. You can sail through this waters now, but you shouldn't anchor.
The whole coastline is infested with bunkers (there are about 700 000 of them).
This is entering the marina in the afternoon. Totally deserted, although we are now in so called high season.
There seems to be water and electricity ... but we are happy just beeing moored in a sheltered area.
This night we had a feast on fresh grilled fish in a local taverna at the beach, 3100 Leke (23 Euros).
Including wine, beer, coffee, sallad ...
