Bright and early we left Mesolonghi saying goodbye to our friends on the quay (Aqua Domus, Van de Voe and Tootsie). We headed down the channel under engine and it stayed this way until we reached the headland of Pappas where we were able to stop the engine and sail for several hours on our way to Katakolon. The sea graduallt became blue and after just over 8 hours on the water we anchorded in the bay of Katakolon. Our neighbours were Pyxsis (also from Mesolonghi but who we had originally met in Trizonia in 2009. Karen and Richard came over for a drink and gave us several useful tips regarding the Poloponnese. The next day we stayed at anchor and Svein scrapped the waterline and serviced the outboard. We also wandered ashore once the dinghy had decided to behave itself and we did not have to be rescued a second time by Richard.
