Njord's Adventures

Ormos Imerolia, North Corfu

We anchored up in this pretty little bay around the promotory from Kassiopi, a typical Greek holiday village for the English tourist. It was rather charming and as the season is early it was not too busy. I found a good supermarket off the town square by the harbour and bought some good provisions. The wind was pretty strong at 25 knots and it was not sunny!

The seabed was weed which is difficult to anchor in. But once in with Rocky (the Rocna anchor) or Manny (the Manson Supreme anchor) you should be ok. We were with Manny and Breaking Bad had Rocky. In this photo there is no-one infront of us in the bay, however later on in the day it was "show time". About 10 boats came in and only two others managed to set their anchors. There was lots of movement trying out places. A cat escaped with no-one on board and Malcom went on a rescue mission. It was a charter yacht and the skipper was called and came back pronto.

We anchored in 8 metres of water and with Breaking Bad did not mive. We enjoyed two lovely suppers on BB and Malcolm ferrued us back and forth. We have not launched Dennis (our dinghy) yet.

Comments
Vessel Name: Njord of London
Vessel Make/Model: Malo 39 Classic
Crew: Vic Farhi & Clare Harrison
About: Learnt to sail together and the first sailing experience was in Lanzarote in 2005. We then bought Mandarin, a Bavaria 39 and in June 2012 bought Njord, a Malo 39 from the Baltic.
Extra: As attributed to Mark Twain: Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines, sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.

Two weeks of blissful sailing gently around the Ionian in 2019. High season for chartered and family holidays yet we still managed to find some less frequented bays to drop the hook
