Chris & Kyla's Great Adventure

 Thanks for the great web site.

There are a number of jobs I need to do on my Catalina 22 Kittiwake.

Last summer we towed the boat 1700 miles from the north of the UK to a small Greek Island call Alonissos .

We had a good trip, camping in the boat. It took us 7 days, but we were not in any hurry.

We  arrived on 1st June.

Bits from the trip are below.

First stop, Tebay just 5 miles from home, to check straps and wheel bearings.

– even the camping on the boat was fine, though it caused some surprise and a lot of questions!  Seven nights altogether; we were lucky with the weather, no rain the whole trip.

 Camping at Lake Lugano, Switzerland at a great campsite right on the edge of the lake with big mountains all around.

In Greece we had a fantastic stop at Meteora & walked up to see some of the monasteries in the mountains.

The worst bit was  having to reverse up the steep slope onto the ferry from Volos; much smoke and burning clutch as the trailer brake kept coming on.

Walking the foot paths on the Island.

Sunrise from our house.

Evening Kayaking. We are very pleased with our Point65 tandem sit on top. It has taken us round half the Island and across 4 miles of open water in quite a chop to the next uninhabited Island without a problem.

The old man and the sea.

Moored up for lunch, Kyla looking for shells

Clear sea 10 meters deep, just checking the anchor.

Paddling Northern tip of the Island

Moored alongside, unusual for the Med usually bow or stern to the jetty. We have added a Greek courtesy flag from the crosstrees.

A lunch time stop in the Devils Schism & time for a quick cool down swim.

A gentle reach under the full genoa, turned into quite a blow with reduced genoa.

The ferries are a bit bigger than Windermere in the Lake district, and were out to prove steam does not give way to sail!

Thanks to Chris and Kyla for Sharing their trip!

Captain Don sent us some great photos of his Catalina 22, "Y-Knot?" on the ocean.

Captain Jamie of Windsor, Canada has these pics to share of Anna Maria Sophia II.  Captain Jamie and his crew have been busy this spring.  You can see more of his photos at Jamie's Photo Album.

Thank you Jamie for sharing!!!
