Kaliope was not able to compete in the Milina Regatta this year as the date was bought forward by one week at the last minute catching me on the hop with other plans and no time to make the 25nm passage to the Pagastitic Gulf. Not to worry we have had the best season ever in Platanias with more and more adventurous day sailing between the south Pelion peninsular and the islands of Evia and Skiathos. There are a few interesting small sailing boats around here of around 6 and 7 meters. In the last month a beautiful new build caique with lateen sail has been launched here. I have met the owner of a locally built Romilly, there is another in build (all wooden) and someone else with a Golant Gaffer. So I am now thinking of the possibility of a small boat rally here next summer, May or June perhaps. It would be pretty informal but there are some fabulous day sailing possibilities in the area described plus the Pagastiic gulf. So is any Cape Cutter interested in venturing down here? A long haul of course but with plenty of possibility to camp, cheap accommodation and easy mooring it is worth posing the question now. Do let me know
