Wednesday 30 August 2017 – Corfu

So the season starts again.  We flew into Corfu last night.  It was a more eventful trip than we had planned.  Firstly we tried to pay for some lunch with our main credit card and it was declined.  We got to the lounge and phoned the bank to discover that someone had been fraudulently using our card charging many transactions all over the USA.  We haven’t been there for over 5 months, so it is really odd this occurred now.  Anyway the upshot of it is that our main card has been stopped and we are not home to get a new one.  So we will have to use a debit card and other credit cards, which is a pain.

Also our flight was delayed 40 minutes because of some trouble with the landing gear.  However, that was fixed and we took off and landed safely, if late.  We met someone else on the plane who was coming to the Marina so we shared a taxi which saved a little money,

Today was very hot.  I need time to aclimatise.  The boat was quite well cleaned (a few minor irritants).  The laundry was picked up from the lady I left it with last July and we hired a car to buy tons of drinks and provisions.  We had an afternoon by the swimming pool. And went to the Old Corfu Town for dinner.

We have checked out of Greece in preparation for heading to Albania tomorrow.  I am a bit nervous, but Richard assures me it is fine.  We are trying to get in touch with an agent to check us in on arrival and find us a berth (as the port of call we are going to has no formal arrangements for private yachts).  Apparently that is what all of Albania except for one marina is like.  Should be “interesting”.


We are short on internet access, so I am not sure when this will be posted and don’t know if we will get any internet in Albania.  Again, we shall see.
