Ouzo Bay Meganisi

That afternoon once the beach had been deserted we head over for our Ouzo Time.  It's a peaceful time just sitting in the water sipping on our Ouzo.  Then Effie arrives.  You can hear her long before you can see her and once her and her man are on the beach she doesn't take a breathe for an hour.  By that time the ice has melted and I'm swimming back to the yacht.

We have a quite night on the yacht and depart early the next morning for the mainland.

Wilfred a mate of Keith's has told us about a great spot called one tree bay but we are not really 100% sure where it is but we go in search for it.  It's on the mainland directly north of Meganisi so it takes us about 90 mins to reach the general area.

We find a few large beaches with beautiful turquoise water and soon decide on a smaller beach where we can reverse in and anchor.  It's only lunch time and the water temperature is still only 25 degrees so a tad cold for swimming.  However it's nice and hot and a great view from our tender as we row around the area.  Over the next four hours the water temp increases to 27 degrees so we take a few dips to cool off.  

Just as we serve up dinner the wind picks up.  We are not sure if its a local wind particular to the area or not.  We wait another hour or so and then decide to head back to our calm little bay at Vlikhou   only an hour away.  I quickly pick up our stern line tied around a rock ashore and we are on our way.

It's a balmy evening and we are still in our cossies as we raise the head sail and enjoy a very pleasant sail towards the island of Levkas.  Once anchored up the wind has died down and we enjoy a smooth evening at anchor.
