Having replenished the stocks we left Lefkada quay and went through the North Entrance to Lefkada canal so that we could make our way North towards Corfu. A day of motoring has there was very little wind. “Laerke” would follow us as they still had unfinished business in Lefkada. We had a pleasant journey and arrived in Mongonisi Bay on the island of Paxos in the late afternoon. After several futile attempts to anchor in the bay (weed) we left the bay to anchor at its entrance in good holding with a line ashore. “Laerke” joined us and rafted for the evening.
The next morning we continued up the East coast of the island to anchor in the bay of Lakka – A place that must really be seen to be believed. A bay with crystal clear turquoise water that is surrounded by trees. Fortunately we had arrived early so were able to get a good anchorage as it is very popular.
After a very refreshing swim (for some reason although the bay is not very deep the water is quite cold in comparison to other places we have been) we took the dinghy in to explore the little village tucked away into the corner of the bay. Small streets that house little shops and restaurants and they were a joy to wonder round as the buildings are old and the greenery is well established.
