Ouzo Bay here we come!

The village bells toll at 8am as a signal for activity to begin. We have a coffee at a close by cafe and finalise our provisioning. Greg finds the white wine from last night so we stock up on a few bottle as well.

By 10 am we depart Fiscardo for Ouzo Bay. For our followers of last year you may know where I mean. Greg is keen to go back to his favourite anchorage from last year and enjoy some more Ouzo time. On the way we stop into Vathi on Ithaca for lunch and I purchase a basil plant.

By 2pm we are anchored over a rocky shallow ledge at Ouzo Bay just around from Vathi. It's a picture perfect afternoon; the sun is out and it's finally hot, feels like summer is here. Greg takes the tender ashore to tie off as it's too cold to swim ashore just yet. After our first sunbathing session it's Ouzo Time! We get out supplies ready and head shore in the tender. It's hot enough to just have our feet in the water and enjoy the afternoon with our Ouzo. I hope you like the shots!

After a home cooked meal and a hot shower the wind picks up and we have to pick up the anchor at about 9pm and we head back to Vathi for the night. Greg cuts away the lines as we begin to touch the bottom.

We drop anchor in the harbour of Vathi for a good nights sleep.
