25th June

Today we thought we'd go 6 mikes along the mainland coast. Shortly after we left a huge dark grey cloud descended on the mainland stretching down to the sea. It was accompanied by wind, for once from the ideal direction. We decided to go a bit further up the coast to try and avoid the rain and take advantage of the wind. Our next possible destination was enveloped in a dense cloud. A few miles to the west Corfu had much better weather. We therefore decided to keep going back to the island particularly as, for once, we were having a good sail.

Apart from a small shower we made it to Corfu. Later we got our downpour but we were already at anchor. Not the weather we anticipated.
