Dear friends, we are here to inform you about our Atlantic initiative starting March 1, 2016 from Les Sables-d'Olonne and ending in Lefkas in Ionian Greece.
The route is very formative with the crossing of the Bay of Biscay, and then enter the Colonne D'Ercole Gibraltar, passing by the Balearics and then coast Sardinia, Sicily and a little 'of Calabria to get to the last crossing to Lefkada.
Participation is open to everyone and considering that the whole journey of about 2600 Mn takes 20-25 days we will do it in stages. For those who want to embark there are 6 boardings available per stage and you can even make one or more depending on the time each one has available.
The cost is € 400 p.p. weekly and also includes the galley.
You navigate with a new Lagoon 400 s2 Why Not 11.
On board there will always be the captain and his sailor and you will be able to alternate with them for the guard duty and route, excellent for those who must achieve the Yacht Master RAYA or the Swiss boat license.
Both the commander and the sailor can sign the miles traveled.
Expected stages:
Les Sables-d'Olonne (France) - Cape Finisterre (Spain) about 400 Mn 3 days.
Cape Finisterre (Spain) - Lisbon (Portugal) about 290 Mn 2 days.
Lisbon (Portugal) - Gibraltar (280 Mn) or Malaga (Spain) about 340 Mn 2/3 days.
Malaga-Balearic Palma de Mallorca or Ibiza approximately 400 Mn 3 days.
Balearic - Palermo about 500 Mn 4 days.
Palermo - Reggio Calabria Crotone about 250 Mn 2 days.
Crotone - Lefkada cira 180 Mn 2 days.
In Lefkada, it will be available from April at our base for your bareboat cruises, with skipper or cabin charter.
As you can see, it's about 20 days but as you know it depends on the weather ....
Roberto Romina.
