Summer is still nice.. The most intense tourist period is over - all the Italians have sailed home. The heat and the good weather are still everyday. The light has probably become a little brighter and more September-like, but otherwise high summer. Last year I sailed all October in fine weather and hopefully it will be the same this year.  I get 2 guests on board in mid-October. It's 2 friends from my youth and it's going to be super cozy. The boat will be ashore this year.- from beginning of november There are a number of things that need to be maintained and the bottom needs a lot of cleaning. I sail 1 knot slower now due to fouling. I probably also have housing from beginning November and 3 months onwards. Large villa 15 minutes from Corfu down town. Large garden, swimming pool and lovely fireplace. From mid-January I go to Colombia and Peru for 6-7 weeks . My daughter - Alexandra - who loves to travel in South America, among other places, has recommended me to visit Peru this time, so I expect to be there for 2-3 weeks. Occasionally, it's nice to use others' travel experiences. A few years ago I was in Vietnam - a pure copy trip of a journey that Alexandra had made a year before. It worked so well - so now I might be doing the same in Peru😊. When I return it has been the end of March and spring with the temperature of about 20 degrees. I feel it is a good plan for an retired man.🤗
