We’re headed to the Corinth Canal via the Lefkas Canal, but first we had to stop in our favorite town Preveza. This is the town where Mark and I first saw our boat and where we met Tina at her family owned taverna Mythos. She served us so many lunches over the months that …
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 …

The celebration of Christ’s resurrection has only just begun here. Orthodox Easter Sunday is still a week away …
We have splashed!! It was an unbelievably EXCITING day! We’ve got a few more things to do before we can venture off—so we made it as far as the marina docks. Our standing rigging was replaced over the winter (the cables that hold the mast up) and it needs to be “tuned” once …
Stickers are officially on and our boat has a name. We are Bedouin. We chose the name for several reasons. Bedouins are semi-nomadic people who took their homes with them when they travelled. They were known for many things, among them, their hospitality, loyalty to family, and pride of ancestry–three qualities we find admirable. …
