The latest version of our plans sees us returning to Greece in early April, launching Serafina and after going through the Corinth Canal, we will then be heading for Istanbul. We plan to spend the summer sailing down the Turkish coast and the western islands of Greece, ending up eventually in, or near Marmaris, (Turkey) where we expect to winter the boat. However, nothing is set in stone right now and we will see what happens! Watch this space.....
In the following year (2010) we have signed up to join the East Med Rally, (see map below) starting in May (Istanbul) and cruise along the Turkish coast, then to Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt, ending up in Cyprus. We then plan to sail back across the Med, heading West, to Gibraltar and then on to the Canary Islands. This would then be our starting point in December (still 2010) for the Atlantic crossing to the Caribbean.
