Exploring the World in 'Blue Velvet of Sark': Órmos Vasilikó
http://blue-velvet-exploring-the-world.blogspot.com/2015/08/ormos-vasiliko.html
Where have we been? Where are we now? Thursday, 6 August 2015. On the south side of N. Lo, an island abeam the southern end of. Via, is the remote anchorage of. Órmos Vasilikó. At around 23 miles south of. Órmos Voufalou it seemd like a nice anchorage to stop at for the night before moving on to one of the harbours on the next island, N. Ndros We were, however, keeping a close eye on the weather as strong winds were forecast. The gap between the islands of. When we were shopping in Khalkís we had managed...

Exploring the World in 'Blue Velvet of Sark': July 2015
http://blue-velvet-exploring-the-world.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Where have we been? Where are we now? Friday, 31 July 2015. The northern end of the Evia Channel. We sailed past the northern entrance to the Evia Channel and on towards Stil. S sounds like quite an industrial town and port which didn’t particulalry appeal for a night stop. However, 5 miles to the east of Stil. S is a bay which seemed to offer good shelter from the easterly wind and which looked to fit the bill for the night. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). 5 Weeks in Brittany. Ak Kastri and Órmos Peristéri.

Rustler 37 - review and test - Sailing Today
http://www.sailingtoday.co.uk/videos/rustler-37-review-test
Rustler 37 – review and test. Rustler 37 – review and test. Rustler Yachts has quietly and cleverly cemented its position as a British boatbuilding success story. The classically-lined new 37 seems to take all of the things that were right about the golden era of cruising yachts and roll it all into one rather spiffing boat. From 262,000 ex-VAT. Insure this boat from 1028.12. This is an edited version of the April ST boat test (issue 216). She's a handsome yacht, and the low coachroof and graceful sheer ...

Exploring the World in 'Blue Velvet of Sark': September 2014
http://blue-velvet-exploring-the-world.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Where have we been? Where are we now? Tuesday, 30 September 2014. The marina at Kemer is well-appointed and provides good shelter from weather from all directions but the town did little for us, being a purpose-built concrete tourist resort that, for us, seemed to miss out on character. Kemer’s main street. Whilst I was curled up in the anchor locker, Nicky set to work to scrub the anchor chain, both to clean it and to try to remove the worst of the inevitable corrosion on the galvanising.

Exploring the World in 'Blue Velvet of Sark': Khalkís
http://blue-velvet-exploring-the-world.blogspot.com/2015/08/khalkis.html
Where have we been? Where are we now? Tuesday, 4 August 2015. Leaving Limni behind us. After a slow and lazy start to the day (it was Sunday after all! Cloud ahead over the mountains of Evia – an unusual sight after several weeks of wall to wall blue skies. The scenery, however, was spectacular throughout. With high mountains to the east, lower hills to the west, flat water and a shifty breeze it felt rather as if we were sailing on a lake – perhaps this is what it is like to sail on Lake Garda. We arriv...

Exploring the World in 'Blue Velvet of Sark': January 2015
http://blue-velvet-exploring-the-world.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
Where have we been? Where are we now? Saturday, 3 January 2015. Marmaris - Cockpit Work. Blue Velvet is being looked after for us whilst we have returned home for a short while. She's in good hands and we are taking the opportunity to get some work completed on her. The other important work being done is in the cockpit. The cockpit is a busy place when we are on board whether sailing or at anchor and so the sailing season is never a good time to work on the teak there. Replacing the odd teak plug...Speci...

Where have we been? Where are we now? Saturday, 27 June 2015. Left Loutráki on 23 June with the plan for the day being to anchor at a nice beach for lunch on our way to Skíathos. Beach on Nisis Tsoungria. We managed this very successfully finding an empty beach on the west side of the island of Nisis Tsoungria. Beach on Nisis Tsoungria. Skíathos with the runway visible to the right. It turned out to be a very good anchorage; settled, quieter than the quay and with less roll plus. Typically for this regio...
