Going home

This is it. After countless nights in bays where we could see the thousand stars, clear warm water around us, lots of swims, many fishing ports, and lots of good wind, this trip has come to its end. It's true that we'll be back here shortly, but it still feels like and end of something. We're flying back home after 2.5 months that I've been away from my home town.

And BTW Doron and Roded, the wind blows here every day 10-25kts staring at about 1-2pm, so here, waking up in the morning and running to the next destination is not the best way to sail here...

Tomorrow we're flying back to get ready for the new school year.

We're now in Lefkas marina getting ready to stow the boat for a month. We'll sail through the Lefkas bridge at 8:00am to get to the boat yard on time. From Preveza, we have a long way to Athens.


A few anecdotes from the past few days:


1. We finally caught a nice fish. It was with a hook in a quiet bay in Meganisi:


2. We spent a day in Fiskardho, Kefalonia and had dinner at the famous Tassia restaurant.
3. We windsurfed once more in Vasiliki.
4. Sailing back from Fiscardho we had 22kts in our back.
5. The private island of the Onassis family is strange. Tons of boats go around it, and even use it's wonderful beaches. Not much privacy they have on their private island...
6. Today, we spent the whole day cleaning, packing, folding sails (well just the jib...), etc. It was a nice busy day. Everyone took part, especially Naama.
