Amore: whether the weather be fine


Landed in Tivat Wednesday evening, met Mark and Amore on the town quay and moved to a nearby marina for the night. Following morning cleared customs to leave Montenegro at 0630 and we were on our way.


Lovely sailing. A bit of motoring to keep the times up, but not much. Wind on our shoulder gave us a fast broad reach all the way down the coast of Albania. Gorgeous sunset, escorted into the night by a pod of dolphins. Mark and I split the night watches into 3 hour shifts, Mark taking the first from 1900 to 2200.

No moon to speak of. The stars were breathtaking. Pretty sunrise with Corfu in sight, more dolphins.


The passage took 32 hours and covered 200 nautical miles.

Now we're just kicking around in the Med, killing time until I fly home on Friday. Tonight we are on a mooring in a small bay near Sivota. We are expecting a lively night, gusts up to 30 knots. We should be sheltered here.


The weather has been a bit unsettled since we got to Greece. It was the right decision to take our chance and go straight away. Hoping the weather clears enough for us to visit Parga tomorrow.
