The Route

The boat is currently on the hard in Preveza, Greece.  This makes our starting point a fairly easy decision.  Where to go from there is the next question..

We are lucky that the right boat was in the right place -Greece is a great place to learn to sail and this is why it's so popular with charter companies.  There are hundreds of islands and sheltered coves to explore.  From Preveza we will probably visit Lefkas Marina as we start to find our feet.  Then we may venture through the Lafkas Canal to explore the Inland Ionian and on towards Athens.

Over the season we have ambitions of visiting many places including Sicily, Sardinia and the Balearics.  We originally thought we could cover enough water to eventually reach The Algarve but those more knowledgeable than us advised we reign in our ambitions and focus on the tasks in hand: learning to sail, painting and exploring.
