We visited as many of our friends as possible in the time allowed. Sadly we couldn't get to see everyone but we will be back very soon and will catch up with those of you who we haven't seen on this occasion.
I have to mention Sue and James who live in Lincolnshire. We spent a fabulous weekend with them and were overawed upon our arrival, at the sight of the Greek flag flying in our honor from the flag pole in their front garden. Big hugs.
We have been sailing together for 15 years and have owned Stiletto for 13 of them. We have exhausted the Solent and the South Coast and all the other usual passages: West Country, France, Channel Islands etc. that are available from our home port of Gosport. [...]We are now embarking on our "Slow Boat to the Med" big adventure, having sailed out of Gosport in April 2017, with our final destination being the island of Ikaria, in the Eastern Aegean - where Andreas has his family roots. This will become the base for our adventures in Greek waters in the coming years. With hundreds of stunning island locations to cruise we could be away a while!
