Re: Night Passages In Greece?

Yea.. the contract is mute on the subject as is all I researched in the med. None-the-less, my gut told me to forget about it straight away. It was but for the desires of the crew that I asked. ...

Re: T-boning a Ferry in Sidney

Re: Gratuities for bareboat charter operator

Interesting.... leads me to a question that perhaps may be a little off topic: My upcoming charter in Greece stipulates the boat is not guaranteed to be available until 1800 hrs. On the 1st day of...

Re: Who is planning to cruise the Med?

Please share those weather leads! I've read horrible posts regarding the reliability / availability of weather for casts in the Cyclades. I'm heading there for a charter first week of June.

Re: Night Passages In Greece?

Just spent the last 6 hours reading through the Greek Water Pilot... way too many unmarked obstructions and inaccurate charts.... Night sailing is a no go for our group this time. We'll stick to the...
