Sailing and sailing.

Greece was on strike on Sunday so the Saturday night ferry was brought forward to 2pm but of course the Greek dockers wanted the extra days pay so the leaving time was delayed until 5pm so that we would arrive in Igoumenitsa at 2am. A Bulgarian family joined me at my table and talking to them passed the time on the long trip. I can recommend the Astoria Hotel in Igoumenitsa where I rested my weary head for all of 5 hours. After buying the provisions for the boat I met JB and Young Kevin at Preveza airport at midday and we went down to take over the boat in Paleros. So far we have been to Spartocheri on Meganissi, Fiskardo on Cephalonia, last night we got into Sami and today we are heading for Vathi on Ithaka. The weather has been great but rain is forecast for tomorrow. yesterday we had good winds and got the boat healing over and doing over 8 knots much to Kev's dismay, we have also had fun with anchor chains being crossed and other challenges. It is good to have company after three weeks on my own, I am coming to the conclusion that I enjoy the travelling more than the arrival and staying a week in one place.
