On August 29, we picked up Aglaya from her mooring in front of the Vliho Boatyard on Lefkas. At Rabitt's pontoon we were able to install the new compass, clean a blocked bilge pipe and get our boat ready for another two months of sailing.
We anchored in the large Vliho Bay for two nights to settle in, ideal for minor renovation and maintenance work. With our new dinghy, we went shopping in the evening and had a keg beer at the Vliho Yacht Club. Hot, thundery and little wind - that sums up the weather these days.
Of course, we followed the state elections in Saxony and Thuringia. We had expected the results. Nevertheless, we are naturally very worried about them.
On September 2, we started the second half of our sailing season. A moderate southerly wind brought us to Palairos on the Greek mainland coast. A beautiful first day of sailing.
