Remaining
in
Greek
(Aegean)
waters
with
a
similar
itinerary
as
2018
planned,
although
probably
doing
crew
transfers
in
the
Cyclades.
This
plan
could
be
affected
if
the
UK
crashes
out
of
the
European
Union
without
a
deal,
leaving
me
at
the
mercy
of
the
Schengen
immigration
rules,
which
would
see
me
restricted
to
being
in
EU
waters for just 90 out of any 180 day period.
Remaining
in
Greek
(Aegean)
waters
with
a
similar
itinerary
as
2018
and
2019
planned.
This
plan
is
subject
to
travel
restrictions
resuting
from
the
Coronavirus
outbreak,
which
may
result
in
my
cruising
season
not
commencing
until
early
August.
Unfortunately
this
could
be
my
final
year
of
full
summer
cruising
in
the
Mediterranean,
as
the
UK
has
now
left
the
European
Union.
After
the
transition
period
comes
to
an
end
on
31st
December
2020
II’ll
be
subjct
to
EU
Schengen
area
immigration
rules,
which
will
(unless
there
is
any
agreement
otherwise)
see
me
restricted
to
being
in
EU
waters
for
just
90
out
of
any
180
day period from the 2021 season onwards.
Remaining

This
plan
is
subject
to
restrictions
resuting
from
EU
Schengen
area
immigration
rules
(applicable
to
the
United
Kingdon
post
Brexit),
which
will
see
me
restricted
to
being
in
EU
waters
for
just
90
out
of
any
180
day
period
from
this
season
onwards.
I
have
withdrawn
the
Crew
Itineraries
link
from
this
year
onwards
becuase of lack of use.
Remaining
in
Greek
(Aegean)
waters
with
a
similar
itinerary
as
2021
planned.
As
a
UK
citizen,
this
year
and
every
year
from
now
on
I
am
restricted
to
just
90
out
of
any
180
day
period
aboard
in
Greece
(or
any
Schengen
country).
As
last
year’s
temperatures
and
winds
were
the
highest
I
had
experienced
over
the
17
years
sailing
in
the
Meditarranean
I
moved
my
cruising
period
to
earlier
in
the
year,
from
early
April
to
early
July.
Although
temperatures
will
inevitably
be
lower
I
shall
hopefully
avoid
most
of
the
high Meltemi summer winds.
