[Rhodes22-list] A Rhodes in the Med, year 3

[Chris Geankoplis]

Well better late than never.  This year's cruise is almost exactly the same
length as the one from Barcelona to Naples, 1050 nm.  I will be arriving in
Greece at the boat on the 15th of July.  I'll spend a week by myself
(unless someone wants to come along and help out) fixing up the boat and
getting it in the water after 2 years on the hard. Then  I'll spend a week
sailing around the northern Ionian by myself (unless someone wants to come
along).  I'll end up in Corfu and pick up my wife on the 28th of July.
From there it is south to the tip of Greece then east over to Rhodes (an
island named after the boat?).  We will clear out of Greece about mid
September and spend 10 days to two weeks in Turkey before putting it to bed
in Marmaris. We plan to put it up for sale in the spring. (more details on
that later)  I generally do a fair amount of prep on trips like this and
enjoy going over the sailing guide books and charts and Google earth.  I
created a rather long document  (13 pages) with a proposed itinerary and
distances and an accompanying set of Google Earth pictures of each of the
50 odd places where we will be spending a night or two.  About half I've
never been to so it is with great anticipation that I look forward to this
year's adventure.  I've attached a Google Docs link to the itinerary if you
are interested. One note, to really get the most out of it, the document
should be viewed at 170% on a computer screen.   I should start posting
stuff a couple of weeks behind the actual day's sail, say around the
beginning of August or late July.  This trip will be the most challenging
yet as the Meltemi is the strongest in August, right when we are crossing
the Aegean.
