Hi Everyone,

Our plan to leave Comino to head for Greece has been a little delayed. The winds increased again and in particular, North East of us where we are heading.

So we have had three nights in Gozo marina and now have a good weather window from tomorrow, 12th May, north westerly wind , moving to westerly, 15 to 20 knots dropping to 10 knots.

This should be good for the 380 nautical mile trip to Zakinthos, we estimate about a two and half to three day trip.

Today we explored the island a little after our previous ferry visit with Mom and Dad. The buses here are as easy as in Malta to get around ----- with all buses running in and out of the capital Victoria ( Rabat ) for 47 cents a trip.

Empty vintage bus---FULL bus, can you believe it and no one left on the road side !!

Next blog hopefully from Zakinthos--- and Tioram sails into the island where our dream to sail the seas began.........................

Love to all
