Ionian ­Sailing

Trani was lovely, a pretty town but not overrun with tourists. We are now on Lefkas which is the island next to Kefalonia. Last night we slept in Kerenza, our chartered sail boat moored besides a taverna in Sivota.

We are all completing practical Royal Yacht Association sailing qualifications. Fiona our skipper has not given us a moment’s break, we have been very busy. So, now it’s almost 11pm and we have sailed from Lefkas to Kefalonia. Tonight we are in Fiskardho, a very fancy little Greek town. It’s full of yachts and gin palaces with well dressed tourists spending lavishly … not really my style but I loved sailing today.

Oddly enough on the voyage over here we passed one of our old neighbours from Lowertown. Justin Danby, he was on another boat going in the opposite direction. We messaged each other after passing. What a coincidence!
