Winds were light on leaving Vliho. I got the sails up just beyond a Tranquil Bay and then sailed towards Skorpios (?) At the top of the island the wind died and I motored a few hundred yards and sailed again, crossing the gap between the islands in very flukey and light winds. I had to motor again into the Meganisi Strait and then sailed a bit again and then as I was.pushing for the corner to tack the wind died again. Frustrated I motored past the little island and then tacked up the channel to the head of the gap when the waves built and the wind dropped off. I then had to motor the rest of the waym When I got close to the Sivota channel I went to drop the main but was confronted with the riding turn I noticed when hoisted it. I got a screwdriver and banged the turn out with the mole grips with a knife handy just in case and then motored into the bay. I was given a decent enough berth and probably would have got into it, but was given a push from the very helpful marinero and tied up. not too many problems with the oil pressure today which was good..in idle the pressure warning didn't seem to come on at all. Hopefully on the way back it will be sailing all the way and not 40/60 motoring / sailing even though the speeds and therefore the distances were the other way round at least
