27th April

Last night we booked into a hotel across the inlet in Preveza town. It gave as a chance to have drinks with Chris and Carolyn on Splice before watching the Easter Parade leave the church and head to the square. This morning we got a taxi back to the boat where we put on the last sail. I then had several fiddly little jobs with brackets not quite right and bolts stubbornly refusing to budge. We will clean Imagine once more and be ready to head back to the U.K. tomorrow.

We launched, the engines started and we moored onto Preveza town quay. The wind got up and the motor boat next to us wasn't holding on his anchor and drifted down on us. Then the handle for a seacock snapped in my hand. We're not sinking but that has the be fixe before we go anywhere, potentially time consuming and expensive. There's always something.

Our early flight meant leaving Whitstable at 2am. By 4 in the morning Gatwick was busy with travellers having their full English before departure. Imagine was intact but covered with a layer of red dust. It needed two washes to get her looking pretty clean. We managed a start on the other jobs but there is still a lot to do before launching tomorrow.
