12th May

It was essential that we obtained a DEPKA, the Greek permit for us and the boat. The marina said we had to go to Corfu town to get it. We waited 30 minutes for the bus then wandered round the old town and the docks until we found the Port Authority Office. Once there we were told we had to go back to their sub office in the marina. Hot, weary and bemused we eventually got back to the marina to complete the formalities. The sub office had only reopened that morning at 9 am after a prolonged closure. We left for town at 08:30. We were given the welcome news we could stay another night. Two trips to the supermarket, an afternoon snooze, FaceTiming some of the kids and me polishing off the last three episodes of WestWorld completed the day.
