We stayed the last couple of days in Preveza. Thge expected storm has finally arrived, with 30 knots of wind and high seas (as we were told by two yachts that came up from Kefallonia). We also had a lot of rain in the past 24 hours.
Preveza is a great shelter (at least for the west winds we had). No waves, almost no wind in here.
Sailing up here was special. We had a beautiful 12 kts wind on the channel between Kefallonia and Lefkas, we then had the wind on our back sailing at 7-8.5 knots up to the Lefkas channel.
A couple of miles before the channel we had some extraordinary scenery:
We were going 7 knots with the wind on our back, a heavy rain started with huge drops, the rain drew a dark blue circle of about 1/2 mile around us while beyond it the sea was a foggy white. Very mistirious. Getting closer to the channel, there were about 10 kite surfers, cutting the shallow water near the channel. I think it was one of the more beautiful sailing days we had.
Tomorrow, we hope to sail up towards Corfu. North West wind is expected so we should expect a lot of tacking or motoring up wind.
We'll probably stop in Parga, or in Paxoi, tomorrow afternoon.
Good night,
Eyal

Hi,
Sounds like you had good sailing at last. The only winds I saw the week we were with you are "nose" winds.
I am glad you had a good shelter, and heading north tomorrow.
Hope your YOM KIPUR turns out with the proper Jewish atmosphere. HATIMA TOVA to all your family
Good night
