Final Prep

Saturday is our final day to complete all we have to do ready for our departure from Corfu.
We check the sails, launch the Australian flag, fill water tanks, do the laundry, purchase final bits and pieces for yacht and pantry, install brackets for our Muvi camera (similar to Go Pro) eventually we will have four mounts for taking video, we put up the shade cloth I made to see if it works/ fits and it does. We are pretty tired by 6pm.

We decide to walk into one of the close by villages for dinner. We stumble across the Beer Bucket Bar advertising a pool party tonight at 9.30pm but think we'll be asleep by then. We then realise we missed the Bahrain F1 qualifying today but will ensure we are somewhere tomorrow afternoon to watch the race. Most likely we will be heading to Gaios on Paxos about five hours from here. We will be heading south into a light southerly.

From the Bucket Bar we keep walking and find a pizza restaurant. That sounds perfect. We order the special and wow it's the biggest pizza we have ever seen, and the most delicious. A great base, wood fired, yum!!! We bring home the Greek salad as there was no room.

Considering there are about 1000 yachts on the marina and all in the process of getting ready for the season, it's pretty quite of a night time. The place is full of Brits both young and old. Many living on the yachts at Gouvia.

We attempt to watch a video but only stay awake for half of it, we can finish it another night.

It's still really cold of a night and early morning and I wish I'd been more prepared, anyway it will slowly get warmer each day. We spend a while talking about our sail plan and options but have not made up our mind. We will still visit some of the Greek Islands and Turkey as we have to leave the EU and may head over to Malta but we need to work out the distances etc.
