Re: Bareboat Charter Ionian Islands

The Ionian sea is generally quiet, Stay North if you only have a week, a trip down to Levkas only takes about 12 hours, but there is plenty to see near Corfu.
Have a great time

Re: Should Large Power Boats be Banned?

Is that true? I use about 70 gallons a season in my 50hp yacht. About 10 mpg. My Audi TT does 52 mpg. What MPG dose a pick up truck do?

I have a jeanneau 371 with in mast reefing. For the last 4 seasons furling and reefing have been a pain. Though the sail looks new I suspect it is distorted. I have a new main on order from North.

Re: why didn't this happen???...

When you go to sea why should you expect anyone to help you? You go out and must get yourself back home, or at least to a safe haven.
