Anchored at Mon Repos. Motored all the way into light winds on the nose. Had a swim then Jude and I took the dinghy ashore and walked to the small palace, Mon Repos where, among other things, Prince Phillip was born. Now a museum, interestingly the British occupied the Ionian islands in the 19th century and only conceded the islands back to Greece in the 1860s. Hence the strong British influence in the buildings etc. in Corfu. In the evening we went ashore for dinner.
