Well better late than never.  This year's cruise is almost exactly the same length as the one from Barcelona to Naples, 1050 nm.  I will be arriving in Greece at the boat on the 15th of July.  I'll spend a week by myself (unless someone wants to come along and help out) fixing up the boat and getting it in the water after 2 years on the hard. Then  I'll spend a week sailing around the northern Ionian by myself (unless someone wants to come along).  I'll end up in Corfu and pick up my wife on the 28th of July. From there it is south to the tip of Greece then east over to Rhodes (an island named after the boat?).  We will clear out of Greece about mid September and spend 10 days to two weeks in Turkey before putting it to bed in Marmaris. We plan to put it up for sale in the spring. (more details on that later)  I generally do a fair amount of prep on trips like this and enjoy going over the sailing guide books and charts and Google earth.  I created a rather long document  (13 pages) with a proposed itinerary and distances and an accompanying set of Google Earth pictures of each of the 50 odd places where we will be spending a night or two.  About half I've never been to so it is with great anticipation that I look forward to this year's adventure.  I've attached a Google Docs link to the itinerary if you are interested. One note, to really get the most out of it, the document should be viewed at 170% on a computer screen.   I should start posting stuff a couple of weeks behind the actual day's sail, say around the beginning of August or late July.  This trip will be the most challenging yet as the Meltemi is the strongest in August, right when we are crossing the Aegean.
