Charter Reviews
Hi Franz,
I’m a long-time listener to your podcast. Yours was the first sailing podcast to which I subscribed and it remains an informative & enjoyable listen.
I’m writing in response to your earlier email from Christina Davies and your good advice regarding a charter in the Southern Ionian. My partner and I have enjoyed two flotilla charters, both staring from Lefkas, and have written about our experience on our blog – http://www.sailing-europe.blogspot.co.uk.
We’ll be adding further information when work commitments allow – including a review of our forthcoming bareboat charter from Dubrovnik. After that, it’s a final year of saving before we can buy our Moody 36 or Southerly 110 (we still can’t decide how beneficial a swing keel would or wouldn’t be!).
Please feel free to pass my email address to Christina, if you think we can answer any queries.
As a small token of my thanks for all I’ve learned from your podcast, I’ve sent you a little on Patreon – just enough to buy a beer or two!
Keep up the great work & hopefully we’ll cross paths sometime!
Kind regards,
TJ (Bristol, UK),

Here is a journal of the bareboat charter Gary Harris took in Italy along the Amalfi Coast Iscia, Capri, etc.

Crete Sailors Cruising Guide by Tony Cross
I met Tony Cross in the summer of 2013 at the marina in Nikolas when I was sailing in Crete he had posted on the bulletin board in the Marina the availablility of this free cruising guide.
Of course I’m always interested in getting as much information on the area I’m sailing as possible, Tony was glad to provide this PDF file to me for free and he gave me permission to post on this website his goal is to get as much information out into the sailing community as possible.
Thanks Tony we appreciate it!

Cruising the French Canal du Bourgogne
Croatia
Hi,
Just listening to your podcast of sailing from Split. I sail down here every summer for about 4 years. Normally sail about 4/5 months of the year. A couple of years ago a few of us put together a list of anchorages. You can see what we added here – https://drive.google.com/open?id=1mWUr4LvV8ptAFr1J4piGiKGFAEU&usp=sharing hopefully it will be of help to your listeners.
Really enjoy the podcast.
Regards,
Kevin
He provided us a tutorial for the app Lamma Meteo!
Enclosed the walk through screens of app Lamma Meteo Provided by my friend Jacques Ten Kate
This is the opening screen, choose Modelli
You than go to the right pop down menu and in Modello and choose vento y mare
Than from the right pop down screen, the middle option area you choose the area you want to see
Than from the right menu the most right one you choose what you want to see, raffica is gusts, altessa onda is wave height, nuvolosita is clouds, perioda onda is wave period, swell, and vento a 10 meters,
You can than press play but that is all pretty self explanatory.
