Now it's time to get to work

After a good nights sleep we head over to Cafe Tranquilo for a big breakfast and some wifi.

At 10am Jonathon and Keith arrive to assist us with retrieving the lazy lines.  John is going up in the bosan chair while Greg and Keith are on the lines.  They make it look easy.
That's one job done.  While I arrange the laundry Greg puts the main sail bag up.  We are then ready to head over to Meganissi for the night.  It's only a two hour motor as there is no wind.  

We anchor in Abelike Bay and enjoy the day sunbaking and relaxing.  It's quite busy with plenty of charter yachts around.  The water is the perfect temperature around 27 degrees.  For dinner I make a platter of cold cuts and salad, it's really delicious and healthy.


Later in the evening the wind picks up and we have a fairly restless night as the yacht is moving quite a lot.  In the morning we have a coffee then head back to Nidri as some bad weather is approaching.  

The weather actually misses us altogether as the black clouds seem to go around the mountain at Nidri.  We are back on the Scorpios pontoon for one more night.  The main job now for us is to haul up the main sail but we will have to wait until the morning for that job when the air is still.

We are talking to IBA about our options for the summer.  We decide to leave the yacht on anchor in Nidri rather then take her to Preveza now.  It should make viewing her that much easier.  We organise fuel to be delivered to the pontoon and we fill up and I start cleaning the galley, saloon and cabins.  It's looking pretty good.  


We head over to Roots for dinner and take some photos of the sunset.

We have a night cap at Ikaras cafe and enjoy a slice of orange pie, it's delicious and the last time I will get to enjoy it for a while.

We head home and have a early night as we didn't get much sleep last night.
