After an early flight we arrived at 9.00 in Preveza.

In the Preveza-city-marina Dimitris from Kekeris-yachts was already waiting for us.
Some of us did the check-in, while the others went groceryshopping.

After a small lunch on board, we left Preveza at 11.45.
It was a short hop to Lefkas, where we arrived just in time for the opening of the bridge to access the Lefkas-canal.

Afterwards we tried to sail, but there wasn't enough wind, so our motor had to help us out.

Around 17.00 we arrived in Kalamos, there are only 4 yachts here, so we went alongside the quay. Because it's the end of the season, Taverna George in the harbour iscalready closed.
At night we found a simple Greek Taverna, up in the old town. We had a nice 'Greeksalad-souvlaki'-meal.
