A nice gentle sail south

Today’s objective was to sail from our start point at Nikiana (shown in Blue) to one of the many places in Greece called Sivota. The particular one in this case being shown in Green. Its about 11nm and the forecast was for light winds. There was some breeze at 9AM so we headed out as soon as we could.

We sailed until the wind died at about 1pm and then motored for a bit until we entered the meganisi channel which funnels the wind and makes it much stronger. This channel featured in a blog post from a few years ago but going in the other direction in rather more breeze..

Day 1…. fast and furious

Much more pleasant this time.

On the way into Sivota, we sailed past what is obviously the lair of a bond villain. Why do they make them so obvious?

And then moored up in a location which looks handy for the bakery in the morning but also turned out later to be handy for a Karaoke bar which is less helpfull

Sleep.. eventually.
