After some spectacular thunderstorms overnight, day 2 started out with the sort of weather you come to the mediteranean for, warm, sunny, gentle breeze….. so we sailed a short distance to a small island north of our overnight stop.  Anchored in 5m of water in a sheltered bay we jumped off the boat and went snorkelling.

Above you can see Knight Odesesy lying at anchor.

Lunch in the sunshine as we dried off, then we sailed north in 16 to 20 knots of wind for an hour, until the weather started to go all non Ionian again…. The wind increased, changed direction, and it started raining. So we dropped our sails and motored the last half mile to the entrance to the Lefkas Canal, then through the Lefkas Canal to moor up on Lefkas.

Here we are all moored up on the town key….

After some pretty awful weather overnight we waited for the worst of the swell to subside and headed north

32 knots of wind, and 3m swells made for a seriously exciting run… surfing down waves at over 8 knots on occasions. For the non sailors that is well windy and fast…

Now all safely moored up here in Porto Spilia just below the village of Sparta Houri.

Cold beer, showers and dinner in the Taverna who has been persuaded to open for us……

This is our yacht….. moored 50m froma really nice taverna. Long journey today, sleep and see what the morning brings….

So… all we have to do is sail about 100 nautical miles…..

Easy apparently…..

Hi there,

We are about to embark on a flotilla holiday sailing from Kefalonia to Corfu. And we (well OK, I) thought it would be fun to keep you posted as we go along, rather than tell you about it only when we get back…. If the technology is willing, then updates will appear here!

The Skipper
