We flew into Preveza Greece to join Kerris on a 14 day Sailing Floatilla around the islands. Kerris and her man Martin have been working in the Greek islands for a while now and are the lead boat for Sailing Holiday's floatilla's. Onboard the 30 footer was:
Kerris  - Hostie
Martin - Skipper
Andrew  - Engineer
Me and Nat - Useless stowaways

It was snug but supprisingly easy for the 5 of us to live in 30ft for 2 weeks. All up there were 10 yachts in the group.
These photos were taken around the islands:

Kalomo -> Spartahori -> Fiscardo ->Kioni ->
Kastus -> Levkas Canal -> Parga ->
Sivota -> Lakka ->Plataria.

Have a look!
Kerris the salty sea temptress leading the way
With a rope coming from the top of the mast, a board & harness the guys devised a wicked way to to pass time while cruising.
The huge angle of the rope = big air
         (and rope burn in my case)
Martin showing how its done
After a few drinks the night before rolling out of bed and jumping off the boat was the perfect cure.
The water around the islands was really clear and a good temp.
Nat & Kerris catching some rays
Safety first on the islands
There were little kittens on all of the islands Aparently not many survive the winter- It was tempting to have a little boat cat.
Kerris Martin & Andrew put on a dressup beach party. Marting rigged up some impressive sounds & everyone dug into the punch
The Sunset bar lived up to its name
And we wern't going to forget Nat's birthday. We went out with the rest of the floatilla & had a big one.
This flaming number came with rules - It was hideous but did the trick.
This is Reg, he was over 70 but a party animal
An early rise  - We sailed for 6 hours on this morning down the Levkas Canal on the way to Parga.
This is Parga on the mainland. A really cool place with heaps to do.
Because the area isn't tidal we could anchor basically anywhere
Martin hooked us up with some wakeboarding - We took it to the limits and spent a few days recovering.
They had a prize giving on the last night. Trophies were given to all the muppets that managed to mangle ropes in their prop & block toilets with giant shyzzers.
Ive gotta say THANKS to Kerris, Martin & Andrew for putting up with us for 14 nights, hooking us up with heaps of free stuff and being generally great company. Hope to catch up soon guys!
We reluctantly headed back to London after 14 days of Greek bliss. Its getting darker and colder as London dives into a deep long winter. Not long till we are back in NZ now - but first up                               Thailand!
