CRUISING PLANS

Mantra is currently at Larnaca Marina, Cyprus for the 2010 winter.     I’m planning to set off cruising again  on 3rd July, 2010.    As you will have seen from the Immediate Plans Summary I am planning to spend the  2010 season cruising from Cyprus to France.   Exact route is up for discussion.  It is likely to be via Greek Aegean islands, the Corinth Canal, Gulfs of Corinth and of Patras, Greek Ionian islands, the south of Italy, Sardinia, Corsica, the south of France to Port St. Louis du Rhone / Port Napoleon where we would lower the mast and prepare for the canals.  Then into the River Rhone and up the Rhone and the Saone and then on to Digoin on the Canal du Centre, where I have booked a berth for the winter.  Digoin is a small town on the Canal du Centre where that canal is joined by the Canal de Digoin a Roanne.

Scenarios for 2011 onwards

I am thinking in terms of continuing along the canals to Paris and then down the River Seine and crossing the Channel so as to get to England where I think I will look for a shore base and where I will put Mantra seriously up for sale.  Again, I would discuss precise route with whoever is cruising with me.

Whether I’ll buy another boat remains to be seen.  If I were to buy another boat it would be one particularly for the inland waterways of Europe and some coastal cruising
