On The Way to Zakynthos

Posted on October 4, 2022October 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Today would see us spend nine full hours cruising non-stop in the Ionian, to ensure we reached Zakynthos (Zante) this afternoon as planned. The wind had dropped considerably from the strength that had prevented us leaving Nydri for the last three nights, but Skipper Yanni warned us we would still be in for a fairly…

Left in Lefkada

Posted on October 3, 2022October 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Not a lot to write about today.  We wondered if we were going to be able to set off and continue our gorgeous cruise around the Ionian, but Captain Yanni showed us the area we’d be sailing in on his marine weather forecast app; to my untrained eye it just looked like a lot of…

Magical Mystery Tour

Lefkada to Meganisi

Got up around 8.00am and went along to the aft deck for breakfast, where I partook of a bowl of granola washed down with a couple of cups of the good, fresh coffee.  We then had a wander around the deck, where the weather was already pleasantly warm with a tantalising little breeze.  We saw…

In the Ionian

Posted on September 29, 2022October 14, 2022 by bollingerbabe

Woke up at 7.45 this morning after an excellent night’s sleep.  Getting washed and dressed was a bit of a challenge with the two of us getting in each other’s way around in the compact space, but soon we were ready and we eagerly went outside on deck to see what the weather was like. …
