A whole day of absolutely zero wind conditions. Glassed out sea and apparent wind == VMG. Used the conditions to wash the boat, inside and out, do laundry and make water.

Zavia Anchorage to Syracuse, day 1
Picked up our stern lines in the dark this morning and got underway at dawn, 7am. We have 200nm to go by tomorrow evening when we aim to overnight in the vicinity of Bovalina Marina. On Wednesday we will sail the remaining 80nm to Syracusa in Sicily where we will stay a few days while the unsettled weather sorts itself out.
At the moment it is windstill with a messy NNW swell, so we are motoring with three reefs in the main. ETA Bovalina Marina is around 1600 tomorrow at current progress.
Ormos Marmagkas (Ithaka) to Ormos Skouliki
Decided to bypass Paxos and steer clear of the heaving charter boat anchorages. Headed for a quiet anchorage on the Greek mainland, directly east of the northern tip of Paxos.
Anchor up at 0645 and now motoring on a glassed out sea off the west coast of Lefkas.
Katakolo to Ithaka
A nice NE breeze to get us going this morning
