- We are sailing in the Mediterranean and living on our sailboat since 2021. We embark on a passage from Croatia to Turkey. We plan to use the entire 2022 sailing season for this 1100 journey to explore 4 Mediterranean countries. Croatia, Montenegro, Greece, and Turkey. From Adriatic, through the Ionian to the Aegean. We share some beautiful anchorages, marinas, unspoiled islands, great sites, and expenses along the way.
In this episode, we continue our passage through Cephalonia. We stop at the Island of Ithaca and later Zakinthos. We visit Port of Sami, Historic Pilos town in Navarino Bay. We set sail to the southern Peloponnese and Methoni and Kalamata on our way to Cyclades.
We recently quit our high-tech jobs in California, bought a sailboat, and moved to the Mediterranean. We are just starting our adventure of sailing around the world and experiencing life on a sailboat. In this sailing vlog 2022, we will share our experiences as a sailing couple on CZcams who spends our first year sailing extensively throughout the Mediterranean coast. We will document our experiences, travel discoveries, and costs throughout our sailing journey. Croatia, Greece and Turkey offer some of the best sailings in the Mediterranean and Europe. We hope you will find the sailing passage in this video helpful.
Nice video! Very helpful to do the same route around the peloponnes. Thanks a lot!😀
Glad it was helpful!
I have never been in Greece, probably never will. Loved the music in this episode as well as the background song of the cicada. Enjoy the Cyclades!
Thanks, Nick for the kind words.
Great vid. I hope you tipped the street musicians who provided your audio back track.
I did better than just the tip. : )
Beautiful area of the world. Thank you for sharing. ✨🌊🌬⛵️🏝👙🌞✨
Glad you enjoyed it.
Wow!!!! Utterly gorgeous you guys! Super video! 💙💖
Thank you Kathy. Hope all is well.
Loved watching the drone footage. Incredible. And how does shripwreck bay remain litter-free w so many tourists. Shocking!
Thanks Robyn. I haven't seen them but there must be a cleaning crew.
Great video guys. Thanks for Sharing. Can I ask the time of year you were in Zakinthos. I was impressed at how quiet Pylos was ?
Keep
Up the great work
Mark & Leigh
Thank you for the kind words. We were there in June 2022.
Oh wow the shipwreck is closer to the sea 😯 10 yrs ago the wreck was further back! All the very soft sand going into sea, shame, probably footfall 🤷♀️
Interesting. At that rate give it a couple more decades and she will be back in the water again
Did you mean the bay after shipwreck bay is in the south-west?
South east of the island. Same side
FYI, SEA BEE crew. You have created a boat hazard by not stowing those fenders completely in a locker when not in use. For example, if you needed to get onto the bow quickly, you have the starboard side cluttered with fenders....a significant trip hazard, and the same on the port side cluttered with an inflatable and fenders. Captain, safety is paramount and when off the dock or rafting, all fenders are put away. A good habit to develop so it becomes second nature. Should be the responsibility of the crew on board. Highly suggest you practice MOB drills, ASAP.
Thank you for your feedback - duly noted. On longer passages, we remove the fenders and rig jack lines. Usually, for shorter passages, we developed the habit of flipping them inside the lifelines. If you check our earlier videos you notice we never leave them out. I guess we are getting lazy and that is not good.
