Our first ‘big’ passage sailing from Greece to Italy! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 54)

That's right, winter is coming! We are definitely starting to notice the difference in seasons as we explore the Ioanian. There are still lots of other boats about, however grey skies encourage us to hunker down in Argostoli for a few days. Al get's his tourism on, exploring this interest...
Amazing Ionian sunsets as we head to Argostoli! (Sailing Dakini – Leave to Roam Ep. 47)
