Who needs an auto pilot!!!!

We find our selves preparing for a rare event. A hurricane has formed in the southern mediterranean between Italy and Libya and is heading straight for us. We expect winds of 100kph+ and a shed load of rain. We have fitted bow and spring lines and are hoping that the rocna will live up to its reputation.

Today we battled high winds and short sharp seas as we made the 25nm trip to Plataria. Winds steady at 35kts with gusts nearing 50kts at times. We sailed under head sail only at reef 3 still managing 7.5knts over ground.

Look at the grin on it's face, such wonderful creatures.

Anchored at the Lakka shallows, perfect weather for a swim and a good chance for to burn off some energy.

Squalls everywhere, this is the 7th one to pass us today.... We can only dodge them for so long.

Sir Chay Blyth took the helm today, needless to say we got to our destination rather quickly. Gave the wife some useful pointers along the way too.

Whoop, first rain in months and it's pouring down.

15 knots on a broad reach down the Preveza channel under headsail. No better way to arrive in this fantastic town.

End of day in Meganisi. I could think of worse places to be on a Sunday evening at 8pm.

Little Vathi, home to the mysterious crashed aeroplane. None of the local stories quite tie up but from what we gather it crashed in the 70s whilst involved in some questionable activities.

12/08/2018

Arrived in "little Vathi" this afternoon. What a lovely little port, and with very little light pollution it's the perfect location to watch tonight meteorite shower from.

Phill is now exhausted after his play date with Blaze (another beagle) on-board King Louis. It makes you cringe watching them both charge around with all that expensive furniture and glass. Thank you to the lovely owners for having us on-board.

Yesterday we had the immense pleasure of welcoming the one and only Sir Chay Blyth on-board Lena II and in the process made a fascinating new friend.

Sir Charles Blyth, CBE, BEM known as Chay Blyth, is a Scottish yachtsman and rower. He was the first person to sail single-handed non-stop westwards around the world (1971), on a 59-foot boat called British Steel.

In 1966, whilst in the Army, Blyth, together with Captain John Ridgway, rowed across the North Atlantic in a 20 ft open dory called English Rose III. After successfully completing this in 92 days, Blyth was awarded the British Empire Medal (BEM).

In 1968, with no sailing experience, he competed in the Sunday Times Golden Globe Race, aboard a 30 ft yacht called Dytiscus retiring just past the Cape of Good Hope. Author Peter Nichols wrote that "Few people leaving a dock for an afternoon sail in a dinghy have cast off with less experience than Chay Blyth had when he set sail alone around the world".

In 1971, Blyth became the first person to sail non-stop westwards around the world, aboard the yacht British Steel, taking 292 days, and as a result was made a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE).

In 1973, Blyth skippered a crew of paratroopers in the yacht Great Britain II, which took line honours in the 3rd stage of the Whitbread Round the World Yacht Race, and in 1978 won the Round Britain Race in the yacht Great Britain IV 1981 - Entered the Whitbread race again in the yacht “United Friendly” and was the first British yacht to finish.

1981 – On the yacht “Brittany Ferries GB” won the Two Handed Trans Atlantic Race with Co Skipper Rob James in record time. Came second again in the Round the Island Race.

1982 – Came second overall and first in class in The Round Britain and Ireland Race on “Brittany Ferries GB”.

1984 – Capsized off Cape Horn aboard the trimaran “Beefeater II” whilst attempting the New York – San Francisco record attempt with Eric Blunn. Rescued by passing fishing boat after 19 hours in the water.

He was co-skipper with Richard Branson on Virgin Atlantic Challenger I and Virgin Atlantic Challenger II in 1985 and 1986 respectively, before founding the Challenge Business to organise the 1992/1993 British Steel Challenge in 1989. This event allowed novices to sail around the world in a professionally organised race.

The British Steel Challenge was followed by two successive BT Global Challenge races in 1996/7 and 2000/2001.
