Yeh I know what you mean, It cost us £688 from Nidri to Manchester, 1st week in Feb. we got good deals on the ferries so can't complain. Also we travel in a 7.5 metre campervan :-) very comfortable and we can make a holiday out of it at "no extra cost". Only civilized way to travel IMHO. Regards Roy

Just looking at flights to Preveza......WOW!!!!!! I need to get over to Nidri to get the boat up for sale but cost is ridiculous. Flying to corfu is nearly as bad by the time you add ferries and bus fares.. Any any other idea's. Would love to drive back down in the camper but bit stuck for...

Hi All, is there any books which will give my a map and details of UK waterways...navigatable canals. similar to "the waterways of europe" Regards Roy

OK, I read that it meant all anchorages not just the posidean ones..... which when we used them 2-3 years ago were excellent. Now in Greece so plenty freedom here. regards Roy

Has anyone come across the "new" anchoring law in Mallorca as read in todays Mallorca Daily Bulletin........(http://www.majorcadailybulletin.es/) "The move comes in the wake of a new law being decreed by the Balearic government which has stopped boats of over 12 metres in length mooring in...

One could try England, excellent clean air in all rest,pubs etc. Stay away from Spain , well, Mallorca anyway, as thats a bit smoky. I think the Greek Gov is gonna start cracking down on the law as of Nov....we'll see. Regards R
