Once more our thoughts turn to the coming sailing season. We have decided to move East by going through the Corinth Canal to visit Athens and on to cruise the Cyclades. Our intention is to spend 10 weeks on board in the spring before leaving Kerenne in Crete while we fly home for the summer. We hope to see many of our old friends again this year - especially Siegfried and Gudrun on board S/Y Asante. We last saw them in 2006 in Sardinia but have kept in touch via email and text message. They are currently wintering in Crete at the same marina that we have booked for Kerenne for the summer so we are hopeful of arranging a meeting.
