This week, we hire a car for a few days and explore both north and south of Preveza. We also go for a swim in an icy cold mountain river.

No Lack-A Wind in Lakka

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!
