8th June

The night was OK but a slight swell had us rocking. After we got up we retrieved the kedge and swung with the breeze. The first day boat arrived at 10 am off loading its cargo of swimmers. After lunch we sailed the 6 miles across to Sarande on Albania. I had previously contacted an agent and she was there with her husband to meet us and deal with the formalities. We are moored in a small concrete basin along with 4 or 5 other boats. By early evening a strong wind from the south was blowing into the bay. We were in a small basin in the lee of a large motorboat. Even so our fenders were bouncing in the rough concrete wall. We walked the promenade and had a supper of traditional Albanian fare.
