I met Mr Froku at the cafe restaurant at 9:30 on a calm day and checked the weather again. I looked at Predict Wind and he scoffed a bit and said these things can't predict local wind, and he was absolutely right. I bought some tomatoes and cucumbers and pears from a lady from the villages and paddled back to the boat. I started the engine and motored in calm conditions pretty much all the way to Durres. About 5 miles short of Durres there was enough breeze to sail so I got the sails up, made lunch and waited for the wind to drop away to nothing as usual which it duly did. I had sailed about a mile. I turned the engine on and motored the rest of the way. I found a spot in the anchorage enough distance from a slightly oddly placed green channel marker - the first one as you left the port itself, and got the anchor down.
