After our huge disappointment not sailing the Atlantic we are welcomed aboard ‘Indian Summer’ to crew on a delivery up to Sveti Vlas in Bulgaria. This 685nm delivery will be with our great friend Mick , Owner and Skipper who unfortunately has to leave wife ‘Pep’ behind to take care of their ailing Dalmation ‘Prince’.
In this episode we cover the first few miles with little power, something we find out to be fouled propeller problems.
We sail overnight from Kas in Turkey to Xerokambos on the beautiful Island of Leros, Greece.
