North Ionian Sea.
We started our sailing trip up to the North Ionian Sea on a sunny day in the beginning of Mai.
The weather forecast had promised (?) winds from the south witch was very suitable for us. We were three Swedish boats and we were heading for two small islands south of Curfu, Paxos and Antipaxos. The sailing day was very nice and we arrived in the late afternoon to the little village, Gaios.
We spent two days there and did some repairing on our boats. Just small things, but it has do be done. Next stop was Corfu. We discovered the island under a week and stayed in many small fishing harbours. Corfu town is a nice place but very touristy. Small alleys and thousands of small shops for the tourists. We went for a stroll in the late evening one day and the town was crowded with people. But the atmosphere was very nice although it looked like a subway station in the late afternoon.
On the north side of Corfu we dropped our anchor in the crystal clear water and took our first swim for the season. The water was about 20 degrees, and from our anchoring place we looked over to Albania. The distant was about 2 km.
Our last stopover in Greece was on the islands north of Corfu. From here it is the strait way up north to Albania. We planed to stay on those islands for a couple of days, but the weather was good to set sails for the trip the day after so of we went…………
