Since there was a topic of 2023 I was kind of curious what all the plans are for 2024.
To kick it off here are our plans are basically set in stone and unless the boat breaks down it looks like this:
Mid March - back to the boat in Kos, Greece and prepare for departure
April - depart Greece, check into Turkey for about 1 month, cruising the area of Bodrum, Marmaris, Gutchek.
May - back to Kos at the end of April, stock up and wait for good weather to cross the Aegean sea. Pass the Channel of Corinthe on the way to the Ionian sea. Pass by Corfu to finally get the alternators hooked up to the wakespeed controllers.
June - make the passage from Corfu to bay of Kotar in Montenegro and then into Croatia. Hanging around in the southern part until the last week, then make our way up to the Northern part of Croatia (Istria) to park the boat near the Roman Arena in Pula for a concert of the Simpe Minds (big fan)![Thumb :thumb: :thumb:](https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/images/trawler/smilies/sk/thumb.gif)
July - remain in the norhtern part of Croatia to be in Venice, Italy on 20 July for festa del Redentore. Only time in the year you are allowed to pass through Venice with your own dinghy and watch the fireworks show around midnight from your anchorage in front of Piazza San Marco.
Aug - make our way back to South Croatia, visit Kornati national park and hang around the Southern islands, on anchor and as far away as we can from the charter boats
Sept - make the passage back to the Ionian, hang around islands of Kefalonia, Zakynthos, Kastos, Ithaka, Lefkas etc
Oct -Nov lift out and repair the deck, removing all the teak and replacing it with marinedeck 2000, plus painting the boat.
Dec winterstorage and leaving the boat in Greece
Expected total distance and hours: 2000 nm and around 400 hrs incl 3 x 36 hour passage.
