FRIENDS WHO SHARED THE JOURNEY

Various friends joined us over the Summer.

JOHN STORR


A long lost friend who we hadn't seen for twenty years, it was surreal to catch up with John on the  beautiful island of Paxos.

THE BISSETTS
Lynne and Gerry Bissett all the way from Sydney
Lynne and Gerry joined us in Lefkas and shared the journey through the Gulf of Patras, the Corinth Canal and into the Aegean Sea.



Gerry acted as co-Captain on the boat and Lynne chronicled all the adventures by camera and daily diary.

THE GARCIAS

Early in July Cathy and David Garcia joined us in Andros.  We celebrated Cathy's birthday in Tinos and had a day off the boat to celebrate.




Both Cathy and David are experienced sailors so it was such a shame we didn't get many good sailing winds, however there was more time for swimming and culinary adventures.


We travelled across the Aegean Sea and finally left Greece in Kos, the journey then continued into Turkey where we all enjoyed exploring the coastline as far as Fethiye.   

THE GOMEZ


Begona and Elbio joined us in mid-August, fortunately the weather was kind with gentle winds.  Despite never sailing before they both seemed to enjoy the experience.


Their time went far too quickly.

Last but not least  FRAN 

Fran was our only visitor last year and we obviously got 'the stamp of approval' as she caught up with us  again in Gochek.  

We spent the fortnight sailing around the Bay of Fethiye enjoying somewhat cooler weather and warm seas.
