Sailing around Corfu with Neta and Miki

We started sailing again today with the new Crew. Yael flew over to Corfu together with a couple of friends, Neta and Miki.

The forecast is absolutely against us. We’re going to have head winds all week!

Today we tried to sail south to either Paxi or Moutros but tacking across the straits between Corfu and the mainland did not get us very far. The wind started at 15 kts but ramped up to 25 kts later in the day. First leg took us to the mainland need the Albanian border. There is a very nice, well sheltered bay there, but full of fish farms. We decided to move on.

Crossing back towards the south tip of Corfu, with two reefs on the main and a full jib we were doing 8kts with a nice heeling.

Everyone was feeling well and enjoying the sail. Neta and Miki did great as crew, and helped us greatly.

So after getting close to Corfu, we were heading straight to Petriti so we decided to spend the night there.
