We don't know why it had been so long between voyages with John and Elena, but here we were. Having spent a few days in London for a break from a long flight, we flew into Preveza, Greece on a charter flight. A Sail Ionian van deposited us an hour later at their marina in Vliho on Lefkada in the Ionian Sea.
Talk, talk, talk with prosecco, walnuts, figs, and raisins. It had been such a long while since we had all seen each other. Another friend was to come along on our voyage, but it turned out there was miscommunication, so we prepared to leave for Little Vathi on Meganisi.
On our way, there were many other boats out on the water enjoying the lovely, warm, late afternoon. At one point we passed the home of the author of Greece's National Anthem.
After we med-moored, we had drinks to celebrate our arrival...gin and tonics, pistachios, and crisps. Really, it is a prelude to supper in one of the many restaurants that surround the bay.
We chose this restaurant on the water for our excellent repast of lamb, mushrooms, aubergine stew, lentil salad, Greek salad, homemade bread, red wine, and a lemony dessert. There was so much left over that we knew it would make an excellent lunch the next day. Eventually, we talked ourselves to sleep to prepare for tomorrow's sailing.
