Saturday 1 July 2017 – Zakinthos

A domestic day mainly.  In the morning despite very hot weather I cleaned the boat a bit in anticipation of the Weymers coming on board tomorrow.  Richard managed to get a hose attached to the bollard to our boat and fill us up with water, but as he finished he was yelled out being told the hose belonged to another boat.  So what!  Anyway we have a full tank of water.

The Weymers turned up and we went to a fairly large supermarket in their car and bought most of what we need to keep us going for 2-3 days.  The only thing was I didn’t like their meat so eventually we found a butcher and bought far too much!  The weather is getting hotter and hotter.  So we decided to have our main meal at lunch time and then go to a beach.  That worked out well and we went to the Turtle beach which was lovely.  We even managed to get a couple of sun beds off a couple leaving the beach. 

On the way back to the beach the car showed the outside temperature to be 40C!  At the boat the temperature in the cabin is 33C.  The heat is getting to me.  We have a drink on board and the Weymers go back to their studio.  I am trying to keep cool in the cockpit, but the temperature does not seem to be going down!


We have had tons of discussions about where to go tomorrow.  The weather forecast for tomorrow is a bit better, but with bad northerly winds on Monday, which will cause us problems.  The men think they have identified a port on Cephalonia but it is 30 miles away and things are getting very busy.  So let us hope we can get a safe mooring to sit out any bad weather.
