I am planning a journey from Finland to Cyprus on a Scanper 22 starting 1 August. Since neither I, nor my friend has experience outside of the Baltic Sea, I would like to have some opinions on this planned journey.
First of all does it sound at all feasible with such a small boat and with a crew inexperienced in international waters? We are on a steep learning curve to patch up the missing areas in navigation, communication and safety, but we will have not practiced them when we start.
Is there anything important that might be crucial for this trip and it is easy to overlook for us not having sailed anywhere else than Finland?
Is it realistic to plan this journey to take 4-5 months?
Any comments and suggestions are welcome and desperately needed regarding the route, weather, planned departure date, skills needed, equipment, documents and certificates necessary.
Thanks
