First days sailing

This week we are planning to go down to Paxos, which is great because it gives us a second crack at Emerald Bay….. So today we needed to head 20 miles down to Sivota Mortos.. it is opposite the southern end of Corfu in this shot of the chart… and we started top left.

The wind was not in a very helpful direction so we motored for nearly 4 hours, but we did get the boat sailing really nicely at about 4 knots for a couple of hours….

we wanted to get in time for a swim so we motored the last bit, and anchored off the northern end of Sivota Island, next to Knight Star’s sister ship Knight Odyssey, out boat last year but this time being sailed by our friends……
