The Voyage of the Mighty Tenho: leaving Croatia, heading to Sicily

leaving Croatia, heading to Sicily

It's been lovely day-sailing between little green islands and anchoring each night, but time to start covering ground again. Looks like we have a week before the weather becomes contrary, so tomorrow we leave Croatia and hightail it to Sicily to meet my dad. It will be at least two or three nights sailing, depending on weather and if we decide to stop enroute. My dad will sail with us to the Azores...it will be the longest time I've spent together with my dad since high school!

In Croatia, the kids learned the meaning of

the word "naturist" and "rubberneck"

Having spent 10 years in DC, we moved onto the boat in June 2012, with the intent of sailing across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean for a year. As of June 2013, we've sailed from the U.S. (Annapolis, Maryland) to Bermuda, then to the Azores, to Lisbon and down the Atlantic coast of Portugal and Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar, along the southern coast of Spain (with a quick trip to Morocco) to Ibiza, then Sicily, through the Corinth Canal and Greek islands, winter in Turkey, a few weeks in Israel, with a side trip to Egypt. After a month in the Adriatic in spring, we all sailed to the Azores, where mom, cat and kids left by airplane, leaving John and crew to bring the boat back home to the Chesapeake.
