A typical Greek traditional windmill, just south of Corfu Town.

More wind struggles in Lakka Bay, anchor chain Macrame an Gaios, near-disaster in Petriti. We have an eventful week!

Tourists in Corfu

In this episode, Fraser tells you what we got up to in our week in Gouvia, Corfu. Patrick and Chloe flew out to join us, and they managed to pack in a lot of adventures in a very short time.

Kerkyra or Corfu?

This week, we laze around in the sun, swim, eat a lot, and finally meet up with our son, Patrick, and his girlfriend, Chloe, in Gouvia. I also muse on the direct ratio between size of cock-up when boat handling and size of audience.
