It started with one of those “too good to miss” offers, a week sailing in Greece for £800 including two return flights from London.

I tend to prefer two week trips as it give you more time to unwind but at that price lets go!

So its down to London Gatwick early on the Sunday morning to catch the charter flight to Preveza, and afew hours later we are on a coach crossing the Levkas bridge and down to Sivota where we finished our May trip.

Weather looks a bit ominous, there seem to be a lot of thunderhead clouds around.

Anyway we arrive in Siviota and are directed to Andros a 27’ Jaguar.

Last trip we had one of the largest boats in the Sailing Holidays fleet, this time its one of the smallest but there is ample space for two (for a short period anyway). 

The Jaguars are also the oldest boats in their fleet, some of them are nearly 30 years old, and Andros is still in her original configuration with very few mod-cons.

(If you want hot water use the Solar Shower bag. If you drop the anchor then its a manual job to haul it back in).

Check the inventory, make sure that everything is complate and find some way of stowing the bags, not a lot of stowage space on these is there.
