2020

It is a true privilege: sailing from anchorage to anchorage in quiet and beautifull Montenegro. But Turkey calls once again for new adventures.This time it is going to be the west side of Turkey. The plan is to sail from Bar in the South of Montengro pasing Corfu and Albania, all around the Peloponnesus,sailing South then West, passing Crete, Santorini and Tilos to Datca, a port of entry on the west coast of Turkey.

Exactly 3 months after the port of Monastir closed it opens again and we are allowed to sail out. Hurray, Montengro openedup after Covid so lets sail there! Since June, 15 sailors coming directly from Tunisia should have no problem as they can enter the country without quarantine. After an intense 8 day sail along the coasts of Italy, Corfu Greece and Albania the port of Bar Montenegro appears. So I call port control and they ask very detailed questions….

Marina Cap Monastir takes very good care of its customers. Even when you arrive unannounced and simply ask to stay for a month, they find a place for you. What a nice place to be, it is clean, well organised and very quiet despite it is located in the center of Monastir. A lively circuit of world cruisers who winter here and many French and Canadian liveaboards. The month became 5 and then 8 months and the staff created a new spot for the boat.
