Thanks. Both photos are of our boat looking to the east and the west in the same anchorage. My favourite spot on the coast so far. A real head scratcher on how to anchor (drying estuary flats which dive to deep water) but worth it
These two are from the same anchorage...the cliffs is looking north up the valley and the other is looking south across Gardner Canal.

Will try to load pics but my VPN is getting slow. Yesterday en route to Paros island. No meltimi wind. It’s a strong and dry northern wind that appears all over the Aegean from June to September.

Hi Jacques,
Hope your cruise to Paros went smoothly, cruising Greece is on my bucket list but I guess it will be for the next life, too many places to visit on my side of the world, 10 years ago I sailed down from Florida to Thailand in my sailing yacht but having not much time it was more a kind of delivery rather than a nice cruise so I would really like to cruise quietly to the marquesas, Fiji,...probably when my younger daughter goes to university in 7 years from now.
My Sister closed her ‘cabinet’ in Maureilhan and is now working full time in an ephad, my brother still has his ‘cabinet’ in Beziers but also working half time in an ephad.
Would be nice to get some pics from your travels in Greece. Meanwhile enjoy your cruising and if you ever plan to travel to Phuket, please let me know, would be happy to welcome you here. You can pm me if you want to exchange contact details

Salut et merci beaucoup.
Sailing from FL to Thailand was such a long range trip, no doubt an unique experience.
French remote islands Les Marquises, la « Terre des hommes » of Paul Gauguin and Jacques Brel, what a beautiful destination. Behave, you may want to stay there, it has happened before on a number of occasions to many French sailors .
Have a look at the videos of Philippe Poupon and his wife Géraldine Danon aboard Fleur Australe,
https://www.fleuraustrale.org/
Philippe covered every ocean along with renowned sailors: Mike Birch, Marc Pajot, Laurent Bourgnon, Michel Desjoyeaux, Lionel Lemonchois, Florence Arthaud, Loïck Peyron, of course Eric Tabarly. Its very interesting video of Les Marquises provide us with the benefit of its vast experience and valuable advice.
Still no wind here in the Aegean sea what is exceptional at this time of the year, wonderful time beyond our expectations. Please check out pics on page #4 & 5
https://www.trawlerforum.com/forums/...w-52446-5.html
I am going to share my contact information by PM, it would be delightful to meet in Pukhet among French seafarers when Covid permitting and to enjoy listening all your sailing adventures in the South East Asia and beyond. I will provide French champagne.
Bonne continuation, surtout bon vent et bonne mer.
Jacques

Yesterday looking at your boat anchored, the word I was trying to find in English was "spectacular".
Thank you for the pics. These cliffs remind me my drive years ago near the foothills east of the Rocky Mountains from Calgary to Canmore, also to Banff and Vancouver.
A classic hull, your boat looks very nice.

Hi Jacques, just had a look at the pics on page 4 and 5, really looks fantastic, I definitely need to go there one way or another... I read you had your boat on cargo back and forth, unfortunately it would be too long and costly to do so from Phuket!!!, maybe in 8 years from now I can do a long cruise from Phuket to the med, it’ll depend on the Admiral....Again you are very welcome in Phuket with or without Champagne!!! Take care

Victoria has been very quiet this summer without our American friends. Vic Harbour Authority docks more than half empty and majority of boats there when we visited were off-season monthlies that they allowed to stay for the summer. We were one of only a handful of transients.

I hope to remedy that problema next year, hoy!
Haven't been on that dock since I crewed a fast boat in the race from Astoria to Vic years ago.

Our boats probably were built in the same yard as Barry Farrell worked out of the Independent Shipwrights sheds in Coombs, BC.
