Thank you so much everyone for all your feedback. Indeed the location is yet unknown, as the boat. To be purchased and then leisurely brought back from there. So I am unable to provide much more information right now. Regards.
In that case it won't be happening this year. But good luck with it.Thank you so much everyone for all your feedback. Indeed the location is yet unknown, as the boat. To be purchased and then leisurely brought back from there. So I am unable to provide much more information right now. Regards.
Three weeks from Gib to Greece is good going and would be non stop.If he has not bought it then he is looking at starting south sometime August at best on what will be for a boat of the size he mentions about 4 weeks sailing to get to Gib then he has another 3 weeks or more of Med sailing to get to his destination, all doable providing the boat is serviceable. I made no allowance for weather but he could expect quite a bit of motoring against adverse winds and certainly a week or more waiting for weather to pass and a window for his biscay crossing. Should he be thinking marina hopping then the timescale increases significantly. It will depend on the boat and how he decides to sail it.
Palma, Sardinia, Malta all for provisions and fuel touch and go, he wants to get to Greece but yes lots of places to see in between as well as the Islands.Three weeks from Gib to Greece is good going and would be non stop.
There are many many places worth stopping between Gib and Greece. I could easily spend three years doing it.
12 to 14 days for Gib to Corfu ish. Around 1400nm. I took 15 on a Gibsea 96 a while back and that included a couple of days in Malta refueling, revictualing and beer!Three weeks from Gib to Greece is good going and would be non stop.

Sounds lovely - how does one find these good places? Would Navily help?12 to 14 days for Gib to Corfu ish. Around 1400nm. I took 15 on a Gibsea 96 a while back and that included a couple of days in Malta refueling, revictualing and beer!
A cruise over an extra couple of weeks would be nice though. Some great pit stops on other places on the way.
I had to Google navily! Sounds good, much more up to date than pilot books. Although they were always my go to source of information for planning various trips across the Meditteranean.Sounds lovely - how does one find these good places? Would Navily help?
The Med is just about the most popular and written about cruising area in the world, so no shortage of information of which Navily is one. Starting from N Europe it is common (as I suggested earlier) to take as much as a year along the north and west coast - France, S Coast of UK, Ireland, Spain and Portugal then another year for the coasts and Islands of Spain, France, more islands, Italy, Adriatic then Greece.Sounds lovely - how does one find these good places?
