Friday 01 June
Meganisi

We had five nights in the end at Lefkas. For the first couple of days we were aware that the weather at home was lovely while it wasn't very warm here and apart from the storms on the first day we had rain on Tuesday as well.  By Wednesday things were looking up even though the wind was still quite chilly and now finally the weather is how you would expect it to be, but we were also waiting for six new batteries to arrive from Athens.  We were so impressed with Andreas who found a supplier and organised for the batteries to be delivered, and they were actually with us on Wednesday, and then we waited for the batteries to charge and finally this morning we had five lights! I cannot tell you anything about ampere hours despite the fact that I havent heard about much else for the last few days.

We left for Meganisi at noon today after the Captain had been twice to the Port Police who were not at all friendly and demanded to see again the insurance certificate despite the fact that he had already seen it on Monday - the same official.

And Meganisi is everything we were hoping for - a very small marina run by an English girl from Carlisle - it is very picturesque and we will stay here until Monday and then head for Fiskardo, Cephalonia.  At least that's the plan at the moment - things do seem to have a habit of changing.
