A little something out there to keep us focused, but along with 2 crew we should be able to rest enough. The ECMWF forecast has been the most accurate recently.

Athens to Barcelona, on an Xc 45 yacht. We start off motoring but this boat should hold a good speed in light winds. Views from Poros in Greece!
🤞🏼⛵⛵

With 3 little birds on my doorstep we reach the half way point crossing the Ionian sea. A bit of breaky and a read up on what's to come, heading to Methoni.

A sunrise to greet us on our approach to Sardinia and we leave just a wake behind. Fair winds and following seas for the final passage to Majorca.

🌅 A stunning winter solstice sunrise over Sicily as we approach Palermo. Mount Etna was looking a bit chilly for a volcano, but the reinforcement is happy to put up with the chill. ⛵⛵

Greeted by a stunning sunrise on our approach to Palmero on the winter solstice. Time for a bit of maintenance and exploration to let that horrible stuff blow through.

⛵ During storm avoidance in Crotone Italy, I made a new friend with a Formosa 57. Possibilities of slippering this around Greece next summer 🤔⛵⛵

A little sunrise over Italy, as we make a night passage into the Messina straight, with just a few wrecks and tankers to suss out. Looks like Xmas in Palermo Sicily.

A few days well earnt after lots of maintenance work. During my 5 days here near Sant Carles de la Rapita, I've maybe seen only 5 other boats and it's July! ⛵⛵👍🏼
Stunning water that's almost too warm in places, flamingos pass over at sunset and dragonflies took pity and came to eat all the mosquitoes.
Kayaking, snorkeling and swimming every day in the lagoon and across the beach to the Mediterranean.
This is what it's all for!!! 😁⛵⛵
