Leaving Lefkas marina.

The swing bridge heading for maintenance to Piraeus.

Waiting for the replacement swing bridge to open up so I can get out.

It's a ferry, it's a bridge. It swings to let yachts and boats in and out of the Lefkas canal.

I went through that narrow gap.

Closing again to let cars and trucks across.

Out of Lefkas canal and heading north for Preveza.

Hospital Bay north of Preveza. Safe anchorage for coming westerlies. Only two boats today.

Day 50 - easing out of lockdown

Home-made mask.

Beginning today, we no longer have to send a text or carry a piece of paper stating where we're going. We are free to come and go as much as we like as long as we stay on Lefkas Island, keep our distance from others, and wear a mask whenever appropriate. A few more shops will open as well. 

Small fishing boat in Lefkas.

Small boats are now allowed to go out as long as they don't land anywhere other than their own port. 
We can also go to the beach, row in the dinghy, and swim if we so choose. At the moment, the sea is still quite chilly but we'll see. For now, I've put the dinghy in the sea and went out for a row in the marina.

Eidos at Lefkas Marina.

We're still not allowed to sail, so I will be staying in the marina for the month of May.
