The hard work done, we launched on May 12th, the Cleopatra Marina team lifting Deja Vu gently from tractor trailer to hoist to lower her into the water, where she is definitely most at home!
We spent a couple of days on the town quay at Preveza whilst we provisioned for the season as best we could and got sorted out with all the necessary legal documents and most importantly organised some onboard wifi. We enjoyed re-aquainting ourselves with the delights of the town, walking around the tiny backstreets and calling in at the occasional cafe. In particular we had our fix of the superb music played in the art cafe and this time Mo avoided the strong Belgian beer, so it was most enjoyable!
After an evening anchorage round at Vonitsa to avoid the strong southerly and associated rain, we set off north on Wednesday 16th. It was a disappointingly windless trip and although we looked in on Gaios, Paxos, we ended up anchoring in the lovely Lakka Bay a little further north on the island and enjoying a swim and walk ashore.
We set off for Corfu the next day and arrived off Gouvia to anchor for the night before heading into the Marina to get the boat ready for our visitors due on Sunday. More shopping and cleaning but we made time to take the bus into Corfu old town which is still a favourite haunt of ours. We were thrilled to see the stunning Wisteria tree, unusual for us to see, but quite commonplace around the town.
