Friday 28 June 2019 - Ormiskos Valtou

We stayed here in the anchorage for the day.  It has been hot and windless again.  We have been in the water quite a lot.  Nothing more really to tell.  The weather forecast is for much the same tomorrow.  We will move on, but we are not sure where.  I run out of food after tomorrow!

Friday 14 June 2019 – Vathi (Ithaca)

Up fairly early.     Both slept very well, unusual.     Had a quiet breakfast and decided not to have an early morning swim.     We are headed to Ithaca, not very far away.     About a 20 mile trip.     Richard says that the log shows we came here before.     With great optimism Richard put the mainsail up while we were on anchor.   So just before 9am we set off.     We were over optimistic about the sails.   There is absolutely no wind whatsoever.   So another motor trip in absolutely calm seas. It was so bad that at sea Richard took the mainsail down.  We got to Vathi at about 1pm.  We had no idea where to go.  We found a wall with a lot of boats on it so guessed that is where we should go.  We found a spot and put our anchor out.  A nice British couple on one side helped with the lines.   I was worried about the anchor holding. ...

Saturday 8 June 2019 – Galaxidhi

We woke up early and the wind was very light and the sun was shining.     I was pleased to see that the boat moored in front of us had gone making it easier for us to leave the mooring.     By the time we finished breakfast just after 8am I was a bit shocked to see that all the boats had gone!     We left at 8:30 which I reckon is early yet we were the slow coaches today.  We didn’t put up any sails which was just as well as there was virtually no wind.  So it was a three hour motor to Galaxidi.  This is a harbour on the mainland from which you can get to Delphi. One of its attractions is a town wall with water and electricity.  We were warned however that it gets very crowded and you cannot always find a place on the town wall.  So we were just taking the chance that we would arrive early enough to find somewhere. The weather has suddenly turned ‘Greek’.  It is sunny and the temperature is in ...

Monday 10 June 2010 – Trizonia (again)

We managed the morning just fine.     There was no strong wind.     I went to the mini mart and bought a few necessities including batteries for our cockpit light.     We have discovered that the electric toothbrush is dead.     It won’t charge up.    I hope the battery one holds out! Richard filled us up with water and took off the electricity, which had been swapped over in the night - by who?  Our French neighbours left first with us straight behind.  It was a funny old journey. I will never understand the winds here. They are all over the place. Today it kept varying between 4 knots and 20 knots!  Richard kept putting the Genoa up and then taking it in all the time.  We have come back to Trizonia because it is just so convenient.  There is no water or electricity, but there are comfortable free (for the moment) berths and a cute little village.  We wa...
