Lazy Days In August

Since our last blog we have very little new to
report. Indeed, we have just been pottering and chilling out ( if thats
posible when the temperature is 38 degrees). This part of the Ionian is
lovely, but during August gets invaded by the Italians and Greeks from Athens on
their annual holidays. It is therefore "crowded" but there are so many
bays and anchorages that it really is possible to get away from the
crowds. Problems only arise if you want an alongside berth in the
popular harbours where there are the "tourist" attractions.
We plan to arrive back at Preveza on Thursday so
that we can go into the marina first thing Friday. That will give us a
couple of days to clean the yacht, do an oil change etc. and get ready to fly
home on Sunday.
I had intended to write more, but the temperature
has just reached 38 again and I am melting onto the keypad. Therefore, I
will just add some photos for you to see. The first couple of pics are of a
village that was abandoned after the 1953 earthquake, Port Leone- a wonderful
anchorage and interesting place. The other pics are places various and
where it looks hot it is! Also, spot the goats.
Best Wishes - see you soon
