CRUISING & HAVING FUN

ANNE AT THE WHEEL

ANNE & JIM TAKE IN THE
VIEW

Jim and Anne Cowan, Mandys brother and sister in  laws, joined us on Saturday 8th June .

We had a great week together and visited several   ports.









Anne and Jim had never sailed before but soon got into the routine of boat life.

We had glorious weather and were able to anchor and swim everyday. After lunch the breeze filled in to give some lively sailing.

This area is an ideal cruising ground and we seem to have learnt the routine. lazy mornings, motor to a isolated anchorage, swim, lunch and wait for the afternoon breeze.

You can almost set your clock by the start of the wind at around 3pm. Zero to 20 knots plus in the space of 15 Min's.

DON'T DRINK & DRIVE !
note the glasses on the table

We have now been here for over a month and have rarely visited the same place twice.

We are continually discovering new places. We often say what could be nicer than this, and then the next place is !

VATHI MEGANISI LOOKING TOWARDS
THE ONASIS OWNED ISLAND  SKORPIOS

One of our favourite places is the small harbour of Vathi on Meganisi.

It is a small village but offers all we need in the way of supplies and Tavernas etc.

The photograph opposite shows the view we have from our mooring on the quay, with Skorpios and Levkas in the background.

ONE DAY NEARER TO THE NEXT
TIME

Ann and Jim left us on Saturday 15th and the boat seemed strangely quiet after we said out farewells. We greatly enjoyed having them.


Next week we look forward to Peter and Audrey Billingham joining us.
