Departed Orikum at 9:30am to commence our return south towards Sarande. Running the engine at 1200rpm with the prop in overdrive to reduce the rattle in the cutlass bearing, but still maintain plus 6 knots. Anchored Dalga's Beach. All the way under motor with the sails up here and there when the wind allowed. We went for a swim to shore and back in crystal clear waters. This spot is more low key and far more pleasant than the overcrowded beaches elsewhere along the coast. Zimi took us through our PT classes when we returned to the boat, good workout. For some reason the saloon music speakers were not working. I checked the amp and connection box. After some trial and error, determined it was a loose wire in the connection box. Fixed. We took the tender to the floating jetty at the Blue Bay restaurant, over looking the bay and beach. Had an excellent meal of salad, grilled vegetables, Sea Bream and fresh fruit platter accompanied by local white wine.

Approaching Blue Bay restaurant. Very clean bay, crystal clear water and relatively low key

Blue Bay restaurant, excellent local food
