We popped in to Corinth, in 2016 just after transiting the canal. It was quiet, only one other visiting yacht I think, quite a few local boats. There was space alongside one of the pontoons to stb on entry. Very central for downtown. Not unpleasant. Teenagers hanging around chatting late at...

Very secure, helpful, lazy lines - they help you moor up. You can email them to reserve. If possible get a berth away from Marina entrance as it gets choppy with prevailing

R-A-T deterrent benefit > cushion paw marks downside for me!!

"Better" is tricky to define though isn't it? It would be a large commercial marina, generating income for the locality no doubt, good if you want to open a high end restaurant servicing not so good if you are renting a small shop/flat and see your rent go high. I appreciate we are globally in...

I tried our emergency ladder to climb back on board and found in bare feet it was really difficult and painful because your toes and forefoot got squashed between the ladder rung and the hull. On the other hand the home made 6:1 block and tackle looped over the boom proved a doddle for SWMBO to...

If Neilson provide adult CO2 jackets, then gold star for them. Sunsail don't (they suggest and demo the "titanic" jackets at briefing!). Dunno about the other charter co's. I have never had a problem carrying CO2 LJs trans-Atlantic, Greece, Turkey. My usual process is to check the airline policy...

You'll have a great time, Research and buy your own life jackets to take with you. The airlines are fine with it. It is true that you rarely see them being used, but a kid overboard in a LJ is a crisis, without one is a disaster. I just don't understand the mentality of not using them. Your 6...

Scary photos, must have been scary conditions - appreciate you posting. Glad to hear no injuries or worse. Interesting that from the photo the pontoon (apart from the dent where it was hit!) seems to have remained in place. Its fairly deep at Poros at the catwalk/pontoon (8-10m I recall) so its...

The other week there was a boat on the pontoon in Fiscardho with a trip buoy set right next to the ferry berth where the Nidri Star (etc) moor up, which I thought was interesting Russian Roulette of trip/anchor v darn great ferry. Amazingly no boats hooked it, but it seemed a prime example of a...

I'd say learning to kite is more physical. Windsurfing you can learn in displacement, and gradually crank on the power until you are short boarding. Kiting is a planing only activity with power to match. I am also double the reported average age of a kiter, and having had 3 lessons enjoyed it -...

"Speedboat" only cited in the news, no details of size, but given it appears the 3 on the "speedboat" were unhurt and the tripper boat destroyed my money is on a mega Mobo.....
