Judging by the muck that's gone through Sicily over the last 24 hours, there's more of the same on the way. May all your hidey-holes be good ones.

We got some warnings of bad weather in Kefalonia, it can be very localised, it blew a 6 plus we had a little rain from the South leaving the sandy deposits (skonis) just got back from the pub in glorious sunshine, flat seas, it would seemed to have missed us out!

We clocked 60 knots in Licata yesterday morning (and didn't switch the instruments on until after the first big blast hit from nothing). A couple of boats shredded genoas when they unfurled and there was some damage to local roofs and trees but most boats survived unscathed. Bad flash floods not very far away.

On the bright side, it will be the first time the dog shit will have been cleared away in a while.

I flew into Kalamata on Saturday to land just ahead of the storm. It was interesting to compare the weather forecasts. Windguru, Windfinder, etc. that I looked at had underestimated the conditions - forecasting 5s and 6s. The Hellenic weather forecast seems to have been absolutely bang on.

Which marina?
(And exactly when would be helpful for my rather sad stato life!)
(I know that if I asked you for the mast height of the reading that would be really really sad, so I won't. )

Hello neighbour. What's your boat?
Reading another thread, there was one boat on the rocks in Corfu and a couple of sinkings on Preveza town quay. There was mention of damage in Gouvia, as well. I never realised that Fiskardo was as exposed as the photos on this thread indicate, either.
Maybe the Kalamata shelter is not so bad, after all. No damage to my little boat, even with a big abandoned hulk with slack lines and flat fenders moored alongside me!

Did that little caravan on the breakwater make it through the storm?
