We have left Corfu and are now cruising the many many difference anchorages of the northern Ionian area of Greece. We don't have to go far each time we leave an anchorage because there are so many small and large ones.
Meganisi Island and sailing area is our next long stop where we spend quite some time. Vathi, little Vathi, Varko, Spartkhouri, Tranquil Bay just a few of the many many anchorages and villages we visited.
We were also lucky enough to spend a few days with friends Kim and Jonathan, Sean and Silvana, Colin and Angelina, Peter & Dodo that we wintered with from Ragusa. The sailing becomes a very different life when sharing with friends. Sharing experiences is what this life is all about.
The power of social media means that we all make online friends that we have never met. We started to follow Zircon Sailing Adventure, Lizzie and Rob Bolan as they had left the UK at almost the same time as us in 2019, however differently to us they bought their boat to the Med via the French canals. We bumped into them in Tranquil Bay and spent a great evening with them.
Gus is loving the water, taking every opportunity possible to take a dip. He also loves coming out in the dinghy with us.
The Covid pandemic is still having an effect on tourism throughout Greece. Holiday resorts are very quiet with mainly Greeks taking advantage of the quiet to bring their families, almost no other nationalities are visiting. We feel very fortunate to be able to do what we are doing at this time.
Never give Greece a miss if you are sailing the Med. It is the most wonderful, laid back, beautiful country that has so much to offer especially for the liveaboard community.
