Nice day, getting hot now 31 to 32 degs. catch up on some sevens rugby and then Monaco F1 later.

Pleasant with less than 10kts wind. Slow trip for water and power down to most southern spot in a boat in Albania. Greek border was 10m away. Beautiful little bays down south but full of Mussel and Fish farms. Beautiful nonetheless! No internet so not viable to watch any rugby or F1 so made the trip back to outside Butrint. Mussel pot again thanks to wonderful Albanian Mussel farmer. Wouldn't accept payment for a full crate of Mussels. Wonderful hospitality!!

Dropped off Jax and Jade @ 6am at the dinghy dock and they caught the bus and plane on the way to Nice for a few days @ Monaco for the F1. Lifted the tender and set off for Butrint to prepare for a possible rough evening. Thunderstorms predicted for the area from 11pm to 10am tomorrow. Going to be a long night!!

Peaceful sleep at Butrint. Up early to get back to Sarande for Jax & Jadie's town day! Lovely following wind and swell on the way back. Anchorage pretty rough and churny with the SSE wind and swell coming in. Forecast looks much better after 3pm. 🤞. Watermaker playing up! Switches off due high pressure. Cleaned strainer, dove to check inlet, checked filter, re-pressurised and restarted. Kicked off after about 45mins again. Check again tomorrow.

Beautiful day. Motored down to Ksamil, stopped for an hour and then off to Butrint. Passed the fort at the entrance to the river and anchored up near the derelict buildings on the way to the Castle. Very calm and a beautiful sunset coming up.

Nice morning in the bay before we left and once we got out into the channel a fair NW wind came up. Motored over to Sarande, put up the Q-Flag and went ashore for checking in etc. After checking in with Jelja from Sarande Tours we drew money and purchased internet and stopped for a Pizza before coming back to the boat and raising the Albanian flag. Good sleep and a slow trip down to Ksamil and Butrint for the day and evening.

Long night. Anchor watch for wind change between 1 and 3am. Fair swell and uncomfortable. Internet poor. Birthday morning for Jax with waffles and cake! 🧇🎂. Upped anchor and headed North around headland and into Avlaki Bay, great spot between 2 keelers and just off the beach. Ended up being 8 boats overnight. Beautiful spot to chill for last anchorage before crossing to Sarande, Albania and Montenegro for the next 3 months.

Check out day! Moved around Corfu Old Town and up around the point to Kerkira. Port Police, Customs, Passports and back to Port Police to check out for Sarande, Albania 🇦🇱. Took the dinghy up the river to Lidl and went to go buy some Birthday snacks and a Cake for Jax's Birthday tomorrow. Packed in and started heading North towards Sarande. Anchoring in Parasia Bay/Beach tonight

Beautiful and calm at anchorage. Lifted the hook and moved to the channel, 3 to 4 ferries already on the move. Wind light and starting to heat up. 30 to 32 degrees already. Roughly 3 hours to Corfu. Bay is full of boats and we luckily got a spot close to the nearest jetty for later. Music and a beer or two for the afternoon. A swim and shower later and a trip into the old town.

Calm with very little wind. Max 6 knts or so. Split the trio up to Corfu by stopping after 23nm up from Parga. Big bay for anchoring, only one keeler down at the town, we are the only boat up against the peninsula. Great holding and protection at these low wind speeds. Plenty of ferries traversing the channel but pretty far away from the anchorage. Should be a good sleep tonight!
