Life on board

Living on board means a different way of life. Some days when awakening  one needs to ask oneself: "In which country and which harbour?" You live very close to nature and the weather has a major impact on the day planning. But we have also learned that in the Med during summer it doesn´t change very often. Six weeks of clear skies then a couple of cloudy days with showers and then another six weeks of sunshine. 
A cruiser needs to take tough decisions each day - Next harbour, which taverna, what to eat, which wine?

We often have dolphin visits. Very welcome. This seagull spent two days in our chain locker before we noticed it. It took two hours to clean the locker. Visiting swallows
Our grandchildren love to visit us After a windy nights sailing there might be a sepia on deck We pass many historic sites. This is the entrance to the original Olympic arena
