Plundering the Ioanian Coast

A week living on a small yacht in the Ionian sea, marvellous. As usual, conveyed mainly through photographs.

Day 1 - Somerset to Manchester to Plataria

Sunrise somewhere over France, Moon and Venus top left.

The boat, Arillas, proved to be excellent, in and out.

The weather wasn’t bad either.

Day 2 - Plataria to Mourtos

Easy conditions and large doughnuts prevailed.

Punch Party followed by traditional greek food (Pizza)

Day 3 - Mourtos to Praga

Good sailing in good winds.

Water Taxi in the evening back to the boats, with Yannis, the bravest ferry-man in the whole of Praga (no one else would go!)

Day 4 - Praga - Mongonisi via Anti Paxos

Day 5 - Mongonisi to Gaios via Lakka

Standing on the boom provides a better view, and the sail is pretty supportive

Day 6 - Gaios to Petriti

No wind, motored a lot.

Day 6 - Petriti to Plataria

Even less wind, excellent food in the evening. Award received for “most chilled out boat”!

A pirate ship.

Day 7 - Plataria to Somerset via Manchester

Yawn!
