Sarande Albania

 Docked at the "BIG SHIP"S" dock.

 Next we need to take on some water, but what a chore!!!

 Several sections of hose ( a regular fire fighter's hose) are connected totaling  approx. 150 feet long, with a "mega" nozzle is coupled together. This only took about 2 hours, and even then I had to come to the rescue. 

Finally we are ready to feed the hose through the back door into the inspection hole in the top of the tank, and we are ready to take on water. 

Tuesday 7th July. Checking out of Corfu.

 One last view of the coastline of Corfu Island. 

2 hours later and we are entering the harbor of Sarande Albania. Albania and Greece, so close, but a totally different landscape.

   
While docked at Corfu we toured "Old Corfu town"

We went back to the same shop where we bought some carvings from olive wood. 

After wondering around Corfu town Harold and Kathi cooked a delicious meal on the boat.

After leaving Preveza we anchored out off Paxos where we had a delicious dinner in our favorite restaurant. Harold and I found this restaurant when we moved the boat last fall.

At temp. up around 35 deg. a swim in the med feels very nice. 

On the boat

We have returned to the boat, and have been boating for 1 week today Sat. July 18th We left Preveza last Sat. and went to Paxos where we enjoyed a wonderful dinner in our favorite restaurant. The next day we moved on to Corfu and stayed there for two nights. We cleared out of Greece in Corfy, and sailed to Saranda Albania where we checked in. Stayed in Albania and toured the area around Saranda and the next day set sail for Durres Albania. This was a 13 1/2 hour trip. The next day we cleared out of Albania and moved to Montenegro. This also was a long trip (10 1/2 hr) we are now in Montenegro and will stay here for the next 5 or 6 days. It is quite a contrast to Albania very nice here but WARM!! no HOT!!! up to 35 degrees Internet is not very strong where we are so I will try to post a picture after this post, don,t know if it will work (more to come later)

getting ready

Starting to plot a course from Preveza Greece to Venice Italy and back.  It,s a while before we set sail, (so to speak!!  cause we don,t have a sail) but should be a good cruise.
