Sea trials

Phil Berman joined us in Nidri for the sea trials. By this point it hardly seemed necessary. He did, however bring more valuable experience to the table and confirmed that this boat was in great shape and at a good price which dulled the pain of that ‘price’ a little. As Capt. Will Miller once said “when you buy a catamaran, you get two boats for the price of two boats.”

Nidri Bay - Early morning

We sailed to a few places practicing mooring, getting the spinnaker up, tacking and jibing etc. Absolutely invaluable for me and no idea why the guys helped in this way. There was little if no incentive as I had paid for the boat?? just good guys is the only conclusion to be drawn here.

Lefkada Marina and town. Very good for anything yacht repair.

Phil spent a three nights with us, two in Nidri and one when we got back to Levkas where we did go alongside the marina for the night as Sally had booked 5 nights in the adjacent hotel.
