Hi thanks for the report, but it is not clear where the boat was on land.
We are just on our way to Aktio Preveza to look at our boat, just a short trip.

Hi Steen,
Thanks for your mail. You can be completely calm. Heron landed on a place on the mainland opposite Corfu. We have just landed at Aktio Marina.
It is difficult to guard against a burglary like the one we were exposed to and when it happens you should (rightly) be able to expect support from the company you have paid money to store your boat (even if they are not responsible for damage and theft to the boat).
I'm pretty sure Aktio Marina would have approached the matter differently if this was where the burglary had taken place.
Heron is also on lane 8

Hi Carl and Pia,
I also have an Oceanis 36cc and am located in Spain. I'm on Instagram with some pictures from my trip.

Hi Klaus,
Thank you for your message.
Well, let's finally meet when we have the opportunity.
How long are you staying in Spain?

Thank you for bringing us others into your dreams ... we dream and enjoy your stories.
We are ready to go on our own in 2022, and are well underway with the improvements (and savings) Do you want to share a little about the financials of sailing around the Mediterranean ... what does it typically cost to stay in a port in Italy and Greece? Do you think it is difficult to be wise at what a port space costs, find prices from 20-100 Euro on the net ... Maybe there is just this variation in prices ..?
Hope you soon have the opportunity to continue the dream. Looking forward to new stories

Thanks for the nice words.
Exciting that you are planning a trip. (You can enjoy yourself)
For us, port money has been a nice part of the cost of sailing in the Mediterranean.
MEN
when it is said (or rather written), it must be added that we as Danes also sail as Danes. That is, we go to port every night. Many others are at anchor. Some only to supply and bunker water and diesel and then spend the night at anchor. Others go to port maybe a couple of times a week and spend the rest of the week at anchor.
Prices vary from country to country, from port to port, but also within the year.
Of the three countries we visited, the most expensive was Italy. Greece the cheapest, while France was slightly cheaper than Italy.
A small impression of the price variation:
In Porto Rotondo in the Northeast Sardine, a port site for Heron costs โฌ 218 per day in August (Yes you read right). โฌ 142 in July, โฌ 65 in June and September โฌ 35 in May, โฌ 18 in April and โฌ 8 from October to March.
Typically, the price in Italy is around โฌ 60 - 90 per day during peak season and slightly lower in France.
In Greece the price is โฌ 20- 25 per day in the municipal ports and โฌ 50- 60 per day in the private (here is also a great comfort).
We recommend downloading the app "NAVILY". Here you can enter data on your boat and get the port fees per day in most ports in France and Italy and a few in Greece. You can also (free) book a place, which may well be necessary in high season. The app also has an excellent overview of anchorages and user comments and weather forecasts (wind and waves) for each site.
The port fees in the canals are low. Typically โฌ 8-12 per day. But you can also lie for free at a resting place, of which there are many in Germany, Holland, Belgium and France.
Hope this answers your question. Of course, feel free to ask for more.

Hi Heron!
We are a family of 4 sailing in the Mediterranean for the 3rd year. Right now we are in Spain. In the spring we will sail back to Italy and on to Greece. When autumn sets in, the plan is to land the boat (Hallberg Rassy Monsun 31). I have followed along a bit in your journey and can see you standing on land on Corfu.
Was it a good and safe experience for your boat, and what prices do they work with at the yard?
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Greet the entire crew at S / Y Libra

Hey Peter,
We are on land at Cara Yachts in the small town of Plataria. It is located on the mainland a few and twenty miles southeast of Gouvia Marina. We are four Danish boats standing on land there this winter. The yard leases a crane for pick-up and handles transport from the dock to the boatyard (about 200 meters) and storage on the boatyard. A Parklev trailer is used for transport and PARKUP EVO (steel racks) for storage. The seats (there are two) are monitored. We pay DKK 12.500 all inclusive (ie picking up, launching and space rent) until October 2020. The yard is owned and operated by an Irishman (Mike), who is assisted in the administration by his daughter Niahm.
We were very pleased with the Gouvia Marina in Corfu. But overwintering here cost $ 10.000 more than at Cara Yachts. On the other hand, getting to and from Plataria is a little more difficult and there are not as good service and repair workshops as at Gouvia Marina. (It's really good here)
... all in all, we feel comfortable having left our home at Cara Yachts in Plataria

Hi, enjoy reading their report on sailing from Sicily to Corfu. From the Messina Strait to Corfu about the same route as we walked ours.
We have now put our boat Bijou in stock at Action Marina at Preveza and came home yesterday. I will be starring next season in late April and will spend a few weeks at the Ionian Islands before heading back to Italy. We have sailed in the Cyclades this fall, but I must say that Ionian Islands are more appealing. When are you going back to the boat?

Hi Christian.
We came home last Thursday, Heron is on land in Plataria. It is located on the mainland well 20sm southeast of Corfu. We are already looking forward to next season (it is cold wet and foggy here in Denmark).
In 2020 we stay in Greece and sail slowly around the Peloponnese.
We don't yet know when to start, but shouldn't we be able to meet?
Does your AIS work?

Hi there.
We sail in the boat Thistle and are on our way to the Mediterranean, which we reach before September. We saw your suggestions on winter ports from last year and found on your website - lovely stories to be sure to read.
Well, but we are in search of a winter harbor and can see that you have been to Menton. We live aboard and are therefore interested in the life of other boats (preferably long-distance sailors like us but not necessarily). Is it the case in Menton or do you have other / better bids.
Our own blog can be found here, should you be interested?

We spent the winter in the new port of Menton in the winter of 2017/18, but did not live on the boat ourselves. 'Live-aboard community' was not large according to the port office about 50 people spread over an unknown number of boats. However, it did not appear that all 50 were there at once. There was not much life at the long concrete pier we lay by. It seemed as if there was a little more life on the boats at the drawbridges. Therefore, insist on getting a place there if you want to spend the winter in Menton.
The new harbor where we were located has nice facilities, but is troubled by southwesterly winds. We got a lump out of the hull as the city was hit by an 10 year storm from the southwest for the second year in a row. Watch our video [url Watch our video ....
We liked the city very much. Here is life all year round. Christmas was very atmospheric and not far to Nice, from where there are many and cheap departures to Copenhagen.
We were also very happy with Cannes (the old port) but here we were too late to apply for a winter location.
Loano in Italy could also be a possible wintering haven for you. The harbor is almost brand new, is much better protected than Menton and has some of the nicest toilet and bath facilities we've seen. (They were also fine in Menton now)
In Lavandou and Sanary-sur-Mer, the residents themselves complained that too much shut down in the winter. These are now otherwise nice towns.
You can also download the Navily app. You can reserve space and read reviews of most ports in the Mediterranean.
Heikel's pilot books and the French port pilots we also enjoyed

Nice that you want to follow us. There are several ways to find the next stories. The easiest is probably to click in the "next" in the bottom right corner of the individual report.
You can also go to the "Stories" page. Here is an overview of all reports. The stories from Corsica can be found under the tab "Menton to Porto Rotondo"
Let me know if it solves your problem

Hi Pia and Carl. Then I saw 13. section and now understand that the boat has wintered in Sardinia. It was some beautiful pictures - both from the sea side, but also from all the small cozy towns where you have sat and been able to enjoy the good Italian food and their equally good wines. You must still have a good trip, with some great experiences.
And then I have to say you are scared to edit your video recordings. They are really very professional.
Many greetings to both of you
Lars

Hi Pia and Carl.
Yes, then we got off ourselves. Thanks for the info on mast transport, it went like lubricated? We are now at Cassis, with plans to sail to Italy to find a winter harbor. We hope you get good wind and many good experiences. If you would like, please visit our website https://holmlauritzen.wordpress.com/. Best regards Camilla

Hi Pia and Carl.
Thank you for your prompt and good response, you have been very helpful.
I have called and talked to Rainer, a very kind man, we await an offer from him, he should just wonder it, because he will also need a diver compressor delivered. He has recommended that we also investigate Baltica marina in Travemรผnde, where he also collects.
Nice to hear that it is a beautiful trip that awaits us.
Once again thank you very much.
We will follow you on your exciting trip.

Hi Pia and Carl.
Nice to read about your trip.
We are leavin May 2018, with our 2 children.
I can read that you got your mast transported down there, we have also thought that we think the mast takes too much space on the boat.
Who did you get hold of and how did you organise it ?
Enjoy the amazing trip, we are looking forward to our trip.
The best regards from the cold Denmark.

Hello Camilla,
We obtained several offers for the transport of the mast from Travemรผnde to Port Napoleon in the Mediterranean. We decided to use the firm Fastmast (they were the cheapest or should we not say least expensive)
Fastmast has an excellent website - www.fastmast.com. The proprietor is Rainer Petras. He speaks good English. You can reach him on the phone 00 49 171 486 1820. It's a good idea to call him already. He is trying to collect the transports.
The mast was unstepped at Boeb's yard in Travemรผnde, packed together and lay there until Fastmast picked it up and drove it to Port Napoleon.
Very simple; but also a little nerve wrecking to leave the rig to a transport company without any documentation other than a few SMSs and phone calls. But Rainer is a good and honest man. So no problems. Mast and rig lay waiting for us in Port Napoleon. Nicely packed after the transport.
Boeb's yard is skilled (also to write pretty large bills for unstepping the mast). We have heard there should be a boat builder in Lรผbeck. It should be good and significantly cheaper. (Fastmast may also pick up the mast there).
Enjoy your journey. It's a great nice trip. (We were especially excited about the route from Namur in Belgium to the Mediterranean).

Thank you very much for an exciting story, we also dream a trip through Europe, this year we have been a trip through the Gรถta Canal. It was absolutely fantastic and will be expecting to take the trip again in 2 years, next year will be spent on arranging the boat that we bought 3 months before departure, so we found out on the trip what we would like to have done about ... .. looking forward to following your continued journey etc. Kaja

Thank you for the nice words about our blog.
On our trip to the Mediterranean the "critical" stretch was from Givet at Meuse to Corre at the end of the Canal des Vosges.
The guaranteed water depth is here 180 cm. Same as guaranteed on most other channels in France.
When we went through May, the warranty was fine and we met a couple of the same depths as you.
Later in the season this year it counted less than normal. Therefore, there was a lack of water in the channels. I think the route closed a couple of weeks for that reason. But thinking it has not been a problem in the last few weeks.
Keep an eye out for the messages at www.vnf.fr and look forward to a great trip from Statte in Belgium to Port Saint Louis, in our opinion, was very nice.

So nice to follow you. Have you been to many of the places in the car yourself? My journey now goes to Sydney, to visit my daughter and son-in-law. I look forward to seeing them again. Going to Blue Mountain on an extended weekend. Hope you still get a good trip. A big greeting from me to you. Watch out for yourselves.
Hi
Have read with great interest your blog as we are heading in the opposite direction in an Oceanis 361 that we bought down here in 2015. We are in Gruissan and in one or two weeks, when the weather has gotten a little warmer, we will sail to Port San Louis and start the trip north, so we may see you along the way. You can read about our tour on facebook: S / Y Inuk (writes in English for family and friends abroad). Do you have the mast on board? How are you? Like a few pictures of how you fixed it. Sincerely. Claus and Chui Ping.

Hi Claus,
We chose to transport the mast, boom and rich by car from Travemรผnde to Port Napoleon
We have been pleased with that.
A) We can sail in small waves on the Rhine and Rhone without worrying about the 'scaffolding' holding.
B) We do not have to worry that the rig hits something when we sail
C) There is plenty of space
D) A minor repair was required on the mast bearing at the top requiring the mast to be removed.
The transport is not cheap. We paid 8.500 kr. We think it's worth the money and then drinks a few bottles of red wine less.
From Meuse we enter the Canal des Vosges, Petit Saรดne, Basse Saรดne and finally Rhone.
We update our position on our blog in the field "Here we are"
It could be really nice and interesting to meet on the road
