At the end of October until mid-November in Greece, between Sami and the marina Jonian in Preveza, thanks to the help of the expert Vassilli, we worked on the ordinary and extraordinary maintenance of the magnificent Viva 48 on loan for use to the Velainsieme association.

For the foreign visitor, they are much more eloquent than the Sardinians themselves, not very inclined to fortuitous chatter. A good part of the writings with spray cans in the city are manifestations of love, in fact they could be said of love to love itself, as a…
As soon as the sea and the wind pushed us against this island, its solidity seduced our spirits. Would winter have required land, shelter, warmth, the recollection of the embrace of the bay offered by Cagliari? The first justification was the mistral, peaks of 70 knots were recorded in the port, in 15 years only…
The forecast gives us a respite of at least two days, maybe three if we combine the departure and arrival times well. Let’s become ambitious: if we manage to reach an average of at least 6 knots we will be able to get directly to the Balearic Islands. Yes, why not? We will leave San…
Do you like the sea? Living on a boat combines the welcoming and intelligent management of space that nomadic life requires with a sensational full-time relationship with the sea.

In the absence of other ports in the southern area of Calabria, Pathfinder…
Departing from Sami (Kefalonia) at 11.30 am on 21/11, we traveled with sea and headwind (maximum 10 knots) by motor, helped by the mainsail for the most part, route on Roccella Ionica (Calabria). We arrived on 23/11 at 01.00 mooring on the quay of the gas station and then take the next morning place in…
I am still here, in Greece, treating Path, to the rhythm of a sequence of many quiet days in October, in the middle of the day you are in costume and protect yourself with your hat. I finally decided to summa the pleasant and full summer spent wandering among the beautiful Ionian islands with extraordinary…
