Heading North

From Fisardo we head nth to a lovely little Bay off the East coast Meganisi very close by Little Vathy.  Greg finds the perfect location where we can tie off to the tree behind us and a rock to our Port side.  We have our own privacy for a few days now.  The water is refreshing and clear and we do some maintenance work on the yacht (washing, scrubbing, painting and cleaning the cockpit cushions).  We have a lite supper of cold cuts and cheeses and have an early night.




The next day we go in search of a TV for the F1 at Monsa.  There is a walking track to the village of Little Vathy so we take a walk into town.  It's really hot as we tramp up the hill.  It's a quite picturesque village mainly focused on fishing.  We have a cold beer at Belinda's name sake bar, the Boom Boom Music Bar.


Boom Boom Bar

We decide to head back to the local bar and watch the F1 there as they have a TV and food.  Its called Pirates Taverna.  We have an amazing mixed selection of entrees and enjoy all the tit bits.

What OHnS?

lunch anyone?


We make friends with Mark and Carol from the UK who are also F1 nuts and enjoy their company during the race.  They are kind enough to offer us a tow back to the boat to save me having to row, so I'm really grateful.  We invite them back for Ouzos and have a great laugh.  Mark is taking the micky out of Ute racing, and can't blame him really.

We bid farewell and hope they make it home safely around to the next bay.  They have had an amazing trip, leaving the UK in May and have toughed it out through some really bad weather with only the two of them managing to stay awake for a 72hours stint.  Well done!

Thanks for the tow
Mark and Carol
