10:15    Departed Parga and headed for Gouvia. Mill pond conditions, we put a load of washing on and I did a bilge clean on the way.

14:50    Anchored just outside the marina. We will go to shore for supplies and lunch. After organising supplies and lunch we returned to the boat and motored around to NAOK. A significant task to undertake is replacing the traveller rope. The existing rope had shed its cover and in attempting to mouse a new rope through I broke the rope. The new rope would have to threaded through the system which includes removing the teak section above the rope guides, removing panels in the aft galley to access the traveller winch and then threading the rope from the traveller position, around the winch and back. Then replacing the teak section with new teak.

 

Teak panel to be removed to access traveller rope guide, then replaced with new teak after rope is run through.
