Yesterday was a short motor around the island of Zakynthos.
We arrived about midday to meet the Tippings (friends of mum and dad). They have four children – all of them loved the boat. We went to a nice taverna to have lunch before getting a taxi over to the Tsilivi water park. We hung out there for a few hours – riding slides, swimming and relaxing on the sun beds.

A beautiful day sailing across from Poros in Kefalonia to Nikolaos Bay on the NE coast of Zakynthos this afternoon.

Yesterday we anchored at Andreas Bay for the night and for me it was the best place we have stopped at – we arrived at roughly 4pm. This meant we had until dinner to do swimming and jumping off the boat.
Joe and I jumped off our mini boat and the main boat and swum over to a beach where there were lots of goats. We also had a ride in the mini boat around the bay until dinner which was at 8:15pm.
