Siracusa, Sicily, Italy As we sail around the Mediterranean, we count ourselves fortunate to have a nice “yacht”. We feel Berkeley East is luxurious by sailing boat standards, with a water maker, washer dryer, microwave, electric winches, etc. We struggle with space, where to store everything and even miss some of the conveniences of home, […]
14 May 2013 | Marina di Regusa Sicily, Italy What was your favorite place? When we return home for the winter, our landlubbing friends and family typically ask this impossible question. Last year, we visited 75 ports, in 7 counties, not to mention all of the cities that we saw by land. There just isn’t […]
Didim, Turkey We finally made it to Turkey For the last three years, our cruising plan has been to sail through Greece and onto Turkey for the winter. But at the end of the season, we have usually found ourselves in Italy. This year, through sheer determination, we made it all the way to Turkey […]
Corfu, Greece We had about two weeks left before we needed to start looking for a weather window for the trip back to Sicily, so we decided to pop down to Greece. When we left Montenegro on a 24-hour passage to Corfu, in the Ionian Islands of Greece, there were a few clouds in the […]
Montenegro Just a day sail from Croatia, Montenegro is a country of great contrast. Rugged, dramatic cliffs in the interior give way to a long sparkling coastline. Trendy beach clubs and restaurants share a view with rustic towns. Super yacht marinas and tacky seaside resorts border internationally recognized historic sites. Montenegro has something for everyone. […]
Mostar, Bosnia-Herzegovina While in Dubrovnik, we decided to venture outside the box and see another part of the former Yugoslavia, Bosnia-Herzegovina. So we hired a guide and took a drive to Mostar. Bosnia-Herzegovina has a six-mile section of the Adriatic coastline that actually divides Croatia just north of Dubrovnik. This means that anyone traveling through […]
Ston, Croatia Ston has the distinction of being the town with the longest wall in Europe, often referred to as the Great Wall of Croatia. It is some three miles long, over a very high rugged terrain. We wondered why a small unassuming town would require such heavy fortification, and the answer is its strategic […]
Central Mediterranean We’ve had several friends ask us to write a food blog during our travels, but we already had the sail blog and we wondered who would really want to see pictures of the food we eat. We’ve never considered ourselves to be “foodies.” We like to cook food and we love to eat […]
