But still breaking the law although with the connivance of Malta. Unless one gets residence there, a boat-owner must leave sometime and the EU (Schengen) has a long reach.
I voted for Brexit so will not complain about the result (except for the odious Greek cruising tax) . I just have to get myself and my boat out of Greece then out of the Mediterranean ASAP. The Greek cruising tax is a complication and I have not had time to see any way round it. Turkey then the Red Sea is one option that is closed because I would need to transit Greek waters to get clear. Gibraltar and the Caribbean is my destination of choice but the Mediterranean is not an easy option to cross non-stop in March. Basically I have left it too late for safety but I must attempt it. The comparison of bowing over to a humiliating paperwork empire and the freedom of the world away from the Mediterranean is a goal worth the effort.
IMO.
You should be able to transit greek waters un the "innocent passage" rules if you do not stop.
