We're hanging out in the Gouvia Marina on the Greek island of Corfu, waiting for the right winds to blow us to Albania, Montenegro then Croatia and Slovania for the summer. We'll return to Greece in the fall. The Gouvia marina that holds 1200 boats, but surprisingly it's so quiet. It's nearly full, but where we're moored, and with no neighbours, it's as if we're the only ones here. Our cockpit faces a rural fishing village where a yellow lab entertains us for hours. He goes out with the fishers by day and when he returns in the early evening, he swims for hours and plays with the kids. From our cockpit, we can see his giant smile.

Our four massive batteries have now been installed, each one weighing as much as Con! We'll be in great shape for anchoring in the Adriatic Sea.

Our grand daughter Hailey is now 1 1/2 months old. See photos.
