Wow, we have had some fun cruising around the Corfu and Lefkas area, as you can see from the map.
Beautiful cruising around here: the sea is sheltered, so no waves. The winds are usually flat calm in the morning, but then pick up to a nice breeze in the afternoon. Mind you, the wind seems to pretty much ignore the forecast. In fact, on Thursday when we sailed from Lefkas to Sivota (in order to avoid the 25kt headwind forecast for yesterday) we had a 25kt headwind for most of the trip – leading to some exciting close-hauled sailing at 7-8kts! Then yesterday, when it was supposed to blow, it was flat calm all day. Go figure!
This is definitely charter and flotilla land. Even now in shoulder season it is still busy with lots of them everywhere. In fact, this is the busiest place we have been to the entire summer.
We will be putting up some photos into the gallery very soon.
But, tonight, we are picking up Jessica from the airport. She is flying from Vancouver as we write this, and will be visiting for 2 weeks.
Ceu is so excited!
How wonderful , Jessica is very lucky.
Enjoy and have a good time.
Hugs and kisses
Sounds like there is never a dull moment – I’m excited for Ceu too – her baby girl is coming for a visit. Give Jessica a hug from me – haven’t seen her for ages!! Just leaving for the Sat.AM breakfast. Lots of love Doreen
Hey you guys. Enjoy your time with Jessica and give her my love. Ask her to give me a call next time she is in Kelowna. I would love to see her. Really enjoying your blog and seeing the gorgeous places you are visiting.
Love, Marlene
