Cruising the Mediterranean 2007

Malua Track 

Malua was shipped from Sydney Australia on the deck of a Seven Sea freighter. We were sailing in the Pacific in February and then in the Mediterranean in March! From April until November we sailed eastwards enjoying the culture and people of the countries around the Med.  Before we arrived on board Malua I visited my UK relatives and spent a few days in London.

Our experience is chronicled in the follow the sections:

Cruising the Mediterranean 2009

2009 started in Marmaris Turkey where I prepared Malua for the season.  I then sailed alone to Kos in Greece to be met by Richard and Marita who wanted to do some serious sailing early in the season.  We sailed north towards Athens.  I dropped them off on an island to take the ferry and plane home while I continued on towards Athens.  Denny arrived at the end of May.  We sailed through the Corinth Canal to the Ionian and then the Aegean to Venice.
