Counting down the days

[sailaboutvic]

There no doubt spring is here , within the last week the Marina has come alive with people make the boat ship shape once again .
We have Less then three weeks to go before dusting off he cobwebs , turning our boat back to s sea going vessel and cutting ourselfs free from the wooden platform we been attach to for the last three months and heading off for a new season of adventure , excitement and fun , we looking forward to catching up with old friends and making new ones .
So everyone have a great year and safe sailing which ever way the wind is blowing .

We are on the same schedule as you, we have five days remaining in the office. Then our first summer on board since 2003 but this time with no end date.

I'm hoping that the weather is as good this summer as it was in 03!

Fair winds to all, see you on the water.

with lambing starting soon, and my daughter's deadline of April 5th to get her boat in all respects ready for sea, the chances of me making it afloat till summer are fairly small.

We will be letting go in May. Surprising how many of the small jobs for the winter are still on the list!!!

Crete for End of April / May then over to Turkey for a 90 day stay the rest of the summer around the Aegean sea before heading off to find our next winter stop over .

With two big engine like your you should have no problem catching up a sailing yacht ,

Hi Alex , we in Lefkas , well for the next week or so , not a bad place for a winter stop over although it has been wet and cold at time , but I guess no more then any where else .

Why is it we always arrive a couple of days after you've left? I'm beginning to think you're a mythological creature cursed to wander the oceans like the ancient mariner.
Maybe this year Vic

Hi

I am also counting down the days. Ok, I am not a liveaboard (hope it is still ok to write in this section) but every summer I sail from Croatia to Greece for two months.
Last year we (my girlfriend and me) rounded Peloponisos, this year we'll do it just to Methoni and then slowly back...
See you end of June...

Hi all,

Our dream starts this Sunday. Flight to France to pick up boat for trip to Ionian then there for the rest of this (and the next few, god and the eurozone issue allowing) years. Can't wait. . . . . .
