Delayed start leaving Sivota due to our prop being fouled on a loose lazy line. Fortunately the line was thick and not badly wrapped. On leaving Sivota we sailed in light winds across the bay to the Papanikolis Cave on Meganisi.

At the cave the water was too deep to safely anchor (25m+), so I stayed aboard and held position on engine while the crew launched the dinghy and explored the cave. Light winds and no current meant holding position was easy and indeed relaxing.

From there we headed around the southern tip of Meganisi where we hoisted sails as a promising E/SE breeze blew up. Unfortunately the winds didn't hold and we returned to motor after 30mins sailing. 

We stopped at Ormos Kalopoulou and attempted to anchor. Unfortunately the few decent anchorages were taken and after several failed attempts to get a solid hold in deeper water I decided to move on. 

From here we motored around the eastern side on Meganisi and made our way to Little Vathi where we moored at the excellent Karnagio marina just outside the town.
