Saturday 30th August

 

3.00am the boys are at Corfu airport! Within 20 minutes they are with us at the yacht club and it is an hour before we all settle down to get some sleep.

 

8.00am Sarah and I slip the lines and we head south for Gaios on the island of Paxos.

 

Tom & Ewan emerge around 10.00am and before long have settled down to enjoy the sun on a windless morning as we motored down the coast of Corfu. The only excitement on this trip was as we approached Paxos when the fishing rod bent over and the line rushed out, but sadly we did not hook the fish. To cap it all, this happened twice but such is life!

 

Moored up stern-to the quay in almost the same spot that we had earlier in the week and wandered into town to get some lunch. Met Yanis first who was pleased to meet the boys again, but thought it odd that Sarah called them her babies! We then went to Pan and Theo's restaurant where they were both working today. Great excitement as they greeted the boys and we stayed and ate there. The afternoon involved taking the dinghy round to an island for a swim and then a quiet siesta.

 

In the evening we ate again at Pan's whilst he sat with us and regaled us with stories. Finally Sarah and I went back to Serafina leaving the boys to check out the night life! They were back on board about an hour later having discovered that there was not much happening tonight, but that Monday should be a good night and they had done some serious research of bars and the disco for later in the week!
