We have a yacht laid up in Greece, she's sub 10m so doesn't require an ongoing Transit Log, though we did register our arrival with the Authorities in 2006 and get the necessary bit of paper.
A friend has enquired about borrowing the boat for a few months to cruise around the North Ionian and possibly a circuit of the Pelopenese.
I'm happy to lend him the boat and provide an appropriate letter of confirmation for him to wave around, whilst my insurers (for a modest fee) are happy to extend the insurance cover; bearing in mind that this is not a charter, this would be all that's required in the UK. Does anyone know if this will be OK in Greece (I doubt it) or are there likely to be any problems/paperwork we'd need to arrange with the Greek Authorities before he sets sail?
The yacht is British (SSR) Registered, though the friend I'm planning to lend the boat to is not an EU citizen, which probably doesn't help.
Come on Jim B; I rely on you for the answer to all questions Greek. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
