Tropical Storm

 18 - 20 September 2020

Sara returned from the UK after a week, but we found that taking the boat out was still not possible, as a serious tropical storm, a 'medi-cane' (Mediterranean hurricane) was forecast for the weekend.

The wind was starting to build on Friday, with bouncing seas breaking on Nydri beach.

Saturday, after the worst of it - the beach on the pavement and the sea in the road.  Lefkada didn't get the worst of it, which was further south - a lot of damage to seafront properties and boats in Kefalonia and Ithaka.

We were a bit concerned that we would be proud new owners of Tropi for less than two weeks - but she weathered the storm in Kelvin's care - held well off the pontoon.  Phew!

Sara came back from baby-sitting in the UK to find the house overrun by a toddler and a baby - Rowan's sister and family had come to stay while visiting her Dad, Pete, who had been in hospital.
