I know, Lynda, thanks. :-)
It's really trips I was wondering about, since George & Helen have retired, but i've found a company that do them from Kassiopi, so that's probably our best bet! :-)

Hi Pete and Y'all, not good news, more like no news at all !!! I've had conversations with friends/contacts and I've had very different predictions/reasons for the difference in the tidal streams, movement of sands,silt, and temperature of the water in the Med. The difference between High Tide and Low Tide in the Med is very small. This is due to the only access to a large Tidal Body (the Atlantic ) is through the Straits of Gibraltar. Corfu accentuates the natural current movement by being a natural funnel between Corfu and Albania. Have a quiet word with a Ferry Master who runs between Corfu and ? in Italy and I think he'll tell you it's more difficult to 'make' his timetable. So ...... What does it all mean? Will we lose the little bit of beach that we have in Roda? Possibly Who will go to a Beach Resort with no beach ?? ME !!!! As long as it's called Roda ( in Corfu )

I got in touch with Vera from Cosmic Tourist Office in Kassiopi regarding boat trips from Kassiopi. Here's the website www.kassiopi-cosmic.com/She emailed me back is kindly going to post me out a brochure with all the info on their trips. They use a couple of boats, that look around the same kind of size as George's was. They arrange pick ups from Roda & you can either book directly with them or with Julia @ HN Travel. So it's a really good service. We'll definitely be doing a couple of the trips while we're over.

Thanks Jackie, the website looks good. Do you think they'll have prices in the brochure?

I'm hoping so, Nikki. But if it's not, she had said just to email her at any point & she'd do her best to help out.

Did Vera say to use HN Travel, Jackie? She always dealt with Nostos in the past.

Everything a bit in the air at the moment, Pete. There will be new trips, but so few of the operators are working yet. Boat trips will be finalised soon, but it's still a bit cool for a day on a boat. The new agency will be using 'Captain Arris' cruises this year, based at Imerolia (the Fisherman's Refuge harbour just before Kassiopi). For sure, there will be at least one new trip which sounds like a good deal to me. It will be a full day which combines the old 'Three Island Cruise' (Vidos, Vlacherna & Mouse Island), with a 21/2 hour visit to Corfu Town itself. There will be new coach trips as well, exploring the more traditional side of the island. As always, Ionian Cruises will play a big part - visiting Paxos, Antipaxos, Parga etc. - Rena tells me that no one on the island can match their prices on these trips. Early days yet, Pete, but I will get more information as it becomes available.

The new boat trip sounds good, we used to go with Captain Arris when we first started coming to Corfu, he was a great character and is sadly missed, is his brother Theo still at the helm ? pete.
