Life may not be the party you hoped for, but while you're here, you may as well dance.

Nary a comment from the Mediterranean, let alone the Aegean or Ionian Seas. Perhaps you should post a hint to this question in TRABB?
My necessaries are embark'd: farewell. Adieu! I have too grieved a heart to take a tedious leave.

Failing that I will hail my skipper friend Willy, currently sailing around Australia, who knows these ancient places places well.TheGreenAnger wrote: ↑Mon Feb 20, 2023 8:56 pmNary a comment from the Mediterranean, let alone the Aegean or Ionian Seas.

I might have some experience in the area as a matter of fact my entire sailing experience is in the area you mention. When I switch on my mobile, I would check if I still have the number of a local skipper.
So what do you need to know? For instance Hydra harbour is very hard to find a mooring place and you moor two or three vessels away from the deck.
