Departed the costal village of Lakka, Paxos Island, heading to Preveza marina. Very calm anchorage and clear waters but many charter yachts at anchor which keeps you alert should any close by swing on the anchor, given we were tied off astern to shore.

Before departing, John and I headed a shore for breakfast and a walk around the village of Lakka whilst Matt went for a swim. Very pretty old village with many shops selling local goods, including olive oil produced on the island, claimed to be the best in Greece.

Breakfast ashore around 9am. Very quiet, not a lot happens in the Greek summer before 9 (am or pm)!
