Vlore & back to Shengjergjit

Kevin Hahn

Beautiful still morning. Motored over to Vlore. Windless and hot. Went ashore and visited the chandlery for replacement bilge pumps and float switches etc. Jax and Jadie did some provisioning. Had brunch at a local restaurant and then headed back to our tender. Strong SW winds and big swell had come up and there was a challenging ride back to the boat. Very difficult conditions to raise the tender but eventually got it up and secured. Luckily it was up as the trip back to the anchorage was in high wind (peaking at 35kts reguarly) and difficult swell. Once in and tight against the shoreline the conditions were much better and we set up for the evening anchorage.
