11:30    Swim mid-morning to shore and back. Prepare to depart for Palaiokastritsas on the NW side of Corfu.

15:00    Out of the Kalami Bay, engine off, we set sail on a broad reach/downwind run heading north between Corfu and Albania. Very comfortable sail 6.7 knts, 12knts apparent, wind 130 degrees SB. Engine on half way across the northern end of Corfu. Heading south on the east side of Corfu the winds were from the south. Anchored Vr. Vigla, Palaiokastritsas. John caught 3 more Sea Bream which, with the one caught earlier, made for an excellent fish entree following the Aperol Spritz. Later we checked on the coastal Taverna areas in the dinghy, settling for dinner at the Limani Taverna. Excellent service and food.
