Edward's Sailing Adventures"A tourist remains an outsider throughout his visit; but a sailor is part of the local scene from the moment he arrives." --Ann Davison
"As much as the Caribbean is known for its don’t-worry ethos and 'island time' rules, many of us only experience it Atlantis-style, isolated inside compounds where we can eat the way we do back home and commune with, if not our neighbors, then people who could just as well be our neighbors." -- NY Times
If you're new to these trips, please read about the general concept here:
Across the Adriatic from Italy, Croatia is a long narrow Mediterranean country at the crossroads of history. Dalmatia refers to the coastal southern region of the country and it's islands (it's also where the dog breed originated). It's not only my top choice for a Mediterranean sail trip, but would be my recommendation as a first choice for any European vacation. Croatia offers some of the best of both a typical European land vacation as well as an island vacation: sit at a sidewalk cafe on a marble boulevard (the White House marble came from here); enjoy great nightlife; Greek, Roman and Venetian architecture; hiking or biking on uninhabited islands; swimming in turquoise water; or just lying on a beautiful beach. There's even a blue grotto, the Odysseus cave, five UNESCO World Heritage sites, and very good wine.

Sailing the Cote d' Azur from Monte Carlo to St. Tropez. Already one of the great sailing destinations, we'll also be there during two celebrated events: The Cannes Film Festival and the Monaco Grand Prix. It's all there in a 70 mile stretch of famous coastline backed by "impressionistic" mountain villages: Nice, Antibes, Cap Ferrat, Villefranche-Sur-Mer, Eze.
 Britsh Virgin Islands, Nov. 26-Dec. 4, 2010(click to see the photos) Sailing capital of the Caribbean! If you love the water, but not necessarily open ocean, this is the trip. A cluster of islands, short, easy sails apart, together with great snorkeling and diving and some of the best island life brings me back for the 5th time!
