last week on Kauai we left Croatia on

dark and began a two-night Passage to

Greece we experienced all the magic of

an overnight passage and what drew us to

this sailing life being a little more

remote we got to witness nature at its

best moonlit nights stunning sunrises

and sunsets messy seas dolphins big fish

and we also had a bit of fun catching

various inflatables this time chase

continues to chase inflatables managing

to rescue a unicorn sailing life can be

complete contrast from day to day and

this week we get to enjoy life in the

Ionian with crystal-clear Anchorage's

and perfect sailing conditions as we

catch the prevailing northerly wind -

provider

waking up to this view is a daily

reminder of the adventure we are on and

how exciting and fulfilling this

lifestyle can be a simple coffee on the

deck before exploring new places never

gets old two weeks and core food had

flown by and we were ready to venture to

new waters our plan was to head south

cruising down the coast of Corfu before

sailing 45 nautical miles to Professor

[Music]

for interest sake this is where we

checked into Greece the

Shabba Bowl party and over

there is the

after researching agents to check us

into Greece and finding the standard

rate to be 250 euros we decided to

complete the process ourselves and we

were happy we did because despite what

we had heard it was quite simple though

a little time consuming after paying the

new tip I tax online we headed to the

port police in the commercial harbour

near Old Town Corfu then onto customs

then finally back to port police to

complete the process they were all

finally with diesel just then thanks to

you rubia marina which is where we got a

few

aren't really sure where we office

leaves not this evening when it's gonna

see how we go

[Music]

for change we could be kings and queens

[Music]

so let's go

[Music]

what you doing that privilege reserved

just listening to a audiobook and taking

in the beautiful afternoon we've just

arrived here Oh a little while ago it's

cold per treaty and it's very pretty

it's beautiful it's like a kind of the

base of coffee yeah yeah it is beautiful

it's nice Ave I think we're gonna spend

a couple of days here what do you listen

to do you recommend that's interesting

all about the history brief history of

humankind so yeah it's very interesting

well if those two big water bottles

mm-hmm what's for dinner

it's a curry and it's quite hot Panang

curry coconut cream lots of veggies

sweet potato it's really good and we're

watching Charlie Wilson's War and

Netflix in the sunset oh yeah of course

in a sunset

what's happening today well we're just

going to go explore this little place

some really crystal-clear water in there

which we want to swim in this afternoon

we've just got a really go into town and

check it out and there's two really nice

two burners up on the buns up on the

hill to stop they're not going out for a

while

it's just too tempting isn't it yeah

they they both have really good reviews

and ones a traditional Greek savannah

yeah and it's just so nice

we've moved down to the foot of Corfu

and suck a different place should come

down a little bit earlier um yeah we're

here now we want to make the most of it

secret

this is the other option for ativan and

tonight

[Music]

after struggling to make a decision we

chose to experience a little of each

place and we're happy we do

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

all right it's just what you dreamed of

when I said let's go sailing I really

didn't know what to expect I probably

say that it is what I dreamed of like I

was excited about finding new locations

and dropping the anchor and now we've

pulled up in a beautiful little Bay

that's got blue water and come up to a

little restaurants on the beach

have a beer they really weren't

expecting it worried no we didn't know

this place existed we just thought it

was a little bit more protected in the

corner of Corfu so it came here and then

we were pleasantly surprised which seems

to be what always happens never been in

a hammock you think

[Laughter]

really I believe you

walking through the bush we've gone from

beautiful blue water and very tropical

we can get him to do it track hopefully

that's not a scene over an Australian

outback movie is like Ring the outback

caliper treaty seems to be mostly a

fishing village and is a pretty chill

place with locals hanging out and

enjoying a beer along with a few

tourists

hello you look stunning can't answer

dear you chariot awaits

sailing long-term means we have to stick

to a set budget and while we enjoy

experiencing the local culture and

cuisines we have to limit dining out to

once a week make the most of it one

weekend I was wondering what this is

that is coffee burning and apparently

that keeps the wasps away which is a

probably a pretty big thing in Greece

there's a lot of wasps in Meghan easy

and Corfu and if you car so this is what

they're doing the restaurants to keep

them away and on our boats we only

learnt that recently from some friends

of ours on but the Sun is rising and

today we are off to a provider leaving

coffee engine is on

it's real shame that we're leaving here

it's nice when your anchor is in sand

but unfortunately the next three or four

days there's some bad weather coming in

so yeah I don't mind the the wind so

much is gonna be a swell so we're in

Corfu and it's like a bit of a channel

so the swell rolls in and we're down

southern end and we're going to come

the whimsy here finally off to provider

finally the winds are here we left

coffee this morning just before

lunchtime and we know that the north

northwesterly winds will pick up around

lunchtime in the ionian so which is

pretty well spot-on what they've done

today which will give us a good 60 our

sail to freezer I think the whole trips

about 45 nautical miles which should

allow us to anchor just before it gets

dark

so should work out pretty well the winds

aren't crazy strong at the moment but

they're meant to pick up and that's why

we're going to check to bear for visa

because for the next three days it's

meant to be gone between 20 and 30 knots

so which isn't too bad but it still will

be nice projected Anchorage and we are

wanting to get south so that's what

we're doing

[Music]

[Applause]

tell me about the current sailing

absolutely I'm trying to ruin your

flowing roughly 30 knots I got six

wind's coming from the north-northwest

and we're cruising down the mainland

towards pervasive so we should be there

in a couple of hours hurry out

[Applause]

so it's now four o'clock so yeah we

should get around 7:00 perfect timing to

anchor

[Applause]

the wings it has it's been beautiful and

hopefully now with a bit of chop every

to speed that catfish are you just gonna

make friends with tuner again our just

coming into Preveza

you're gonna have to pull down the sails

and just out the front there's a bit of

a

and narrow channel that you've got to go

into so we'll pull it down and then the

narrow channel which is a bit of a

current that comes to it through this

it's not too bad

lookey waves rolling in so Christ I'll

just have to take that pretty carefully

before we anchor just off the the town

of Kavita

we are approaching the entrance

supervisor I've got these chartplotter

on and the backup in case the iPad that

has a little slack attack which it does

sometimes as we go through because sides

are quite shallow straight from the

channel so I'll be watching that I've

also got the radio ready just in case

and the iPad ready at which I will be

monitoring the channel room and I will

also be keeping watch for one two three

four other boats that seem to be

approaching the channel at same time

here we go we are entering the channel

into professor and I talked about all

the devices that I will be looking at I

will also

not the channel blockers which pretty

damn important

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

they've we've just arrived

we're van kid yep just in time that's

big storm I don't think it's gonna come

our way but we were just looking at the

edge of it we're here and it's cruising

down past this way but we've already got

a next-door neighbor is dragged over

there so he's reentering we've got no

one in front of us so we kind of trust

well we don't kinda trust we trust our

anchor but we've only got two and a half

times scoped out at the moment there's

there's quite a lot of boats in this

Anchorage keeping watch out here

I'm keeping watch on crack to be you're

cooking up a fat meal and fat Wow

healthy I'm half a beer in it's bad yeah

watch now make sure that we don't drag

we've just arrived and it's always that

first a little bit of time that's

probably most likely especially with

strong winds and

since wells rolling in so yeah that's

quite a nice it here it is after two

days of strong winds we're finally able

to head in and check out provider

provider is a popular destination and

wintering place for liver boards with

Cleopatra marina having the largest dry

dock in Greece a new marina in town and

a large safe bay to anchor the

waterfront is now quite modern with a

variety of cafes and restaurants and as

you can see is also a popular place for

us to tie to the Town Key creating a

vibrant and lively atmosphere we decided

to head into the back streets to search

for a traditional Greek restaurant we

had heard was a good experience after

wandering the many alleyways we found

the tavern or we were looking for good
