Friday 5th September

Sadly this was to be a long and very dull day for us all. Not exactly a rapid and lively start to the day, but we got away from the quay in Gaios around 11.00am with all the gang on the dockside to wave goodbye to Tom & Ewan.

Not a breath of wind for the trip up to Corfu Town, in fact it I have never seen it quite so glassy calm before. Tried fishing without any luck and with a brief stop just off the southern tip of Corfu island for a swim, we reached Naok Yacht Club in Corfu Town at 3.30pm.

The boys and I went off for a walk around the old town whilst poor Sarah started the process of catching up with the washing, taking advantage of the availability of water and electricity on the quay.

We all went out for a final and rather subdued dinner and on our return we all went to bed having set the alarm for 1.15am so we would be ready for the taxi booked to take the boys to the airport at 1.30am.

Taxi was bang on time and after some emotional goodbyes, we waved them off on their long haul home. (Flight was not until 3.50pm and it was to Manchester, so they still had the drive home to endure as well.)
