We’re so stoked to have Kris finally here. It took her four flights to reach us in Corfu but she made it! That’s the exciting part. The real travel story is that her bags didn’t. But if there’s ever a place to be without your suitcase of clothes, it’s warm sunny Corfu. So we think …
Today we head to the airport, a quick five minute cab ride, to pick up our friend Kris. We did a little more exploring while we waited since the town seemed fairly empty today. The streets were quiet, the air pungent with spring blooms, and the sound of birds echoed through the streets. It …
We made it north to Corfu where we are meeting an old high school friend Kris who is flying in to crew. She’s also our first official pack mule, bringing TWO extra bags full of stuff we need from the states. We arrived in the afternoon and took the dingy to shore to do …
Our resident Bosun, youngest daughter, and sometimes doodle-r Chloe, who often calls herself “Debbie Deckhand” made this sketch of Bedouin the other day. Our Debbie Deckhand Doodles Delightfully don’t you think?
We made it up to Paxos and found a nice anchorage with a good hold. Good enough to wander to shore. The first thing we spotted was a bunch of scooters and a phone number to call to rent them. This sort of thing is Kryptonite to a Skillman. We called the number and soon …
Both of our aft cabins have a little escape hatches which, if you’re not in peril, make lovely windows that look down into the water. Some days you see fish swimming by and other days you see peeping Mark and Chloe.
We are finished with all the work on the boat and happily taking off for good. Preveza has been so good to us and felt like home since we spent so much time (and money) there. We hope to come back again someday. But Adventure awaits and we officially left Preveza for the last time. …
The day before we were finally sailing out of Preveza for the last time, Chloe and I decided to do some provisioning. We resolved to go to Μασούτης—the farthest grocery store out of town to get a good walk in. No sooner had we stepped ashore we were beguiled by a set of Hopp …
We’re gonna miss Tina and her mama over at Taverna Mythos. This family run restaurant was one of our favorites because they became like family while we stayed for such a long time in Preveza getting some upgrades and work done on the boat. On Mother’s Day last week, mama made some funny Greek …
Our new chart plotter has arrived and Stathis, our favorite Marine Electrician, brought it over and got it all installed. Stathis warned us that this new unit has a lot of bells and whistles but just because we could now watch Netflix movies on it doesn’t mean we should. He’s probably right, that it’s …
