It is Friday March 2nd 2018 and from my office in the UK I am watching heavy snow falling over the prematurely hopeful snowdrops, crocuses and daffodils. Although hard to turn our thoughts to sailing in Greek waters we do have considerable planning to do this year as we are wanting to go further afield to explore the Gulf of Corinth, the Corinth Canal and the east coast of the Peloponnese.
We were fortunate to have taken a trip out to Greece in January to check up on Deja Vu and to take some gear out. We landed in Athens and drove along the southern side of the Gulf of Corinth, over the magnificent bridge spanning the Gulf, and then north west to Preveza. It was a beautiful drive with the sun shining in a bright blue sky although the air temperature was struggling to get into double figures. The water looked lively and the mountains looked resplendent with their peaks capped in glistening snow. It was a useful preview of some of the area we hope to sail through and a forewarning of the propensity for wind acceleration in the Gulf and the rather scant facilities at the ports we intend to call into! I have no doubt it will all look more inviting in the early Summer and we are looking forward to it.
