FollowI’ve written from Little Vathi on Meganisi a few times in the past, but today we travelled to Big Vathi, which is the capital of Ithaka. It’s not far from Kioni where we stayed last night.
When we mentioned to the people on the boat next door that we were coming here they took a sharp intake of breath and said ‘ooh, windy Vathi’.
Anyhow off we went and here we are. Our neighbours were quite right, it took 3 attempts to get Konstantinos moored to Val’s satisfaction (she’s the anchor expert).
Lovely place.
Once you’ve moored your boat you are at liberty to watch everyone else trying to achieve the same thing. Reversing up to a quay in a strong crosswind isn’t easy.
The bigger the boat the harder it gets. This 56 foot catamaran was a proper handful.
Lovely dinner later on. It’s a really nice town.
