Mediterranean Cruising
Posted 24/02/2014:
I am a member of the Royal Thames Yacht Club, who plan a cruise in company in the Mediterranean every other year.
I will participate in a short part this year, but its very well researched and based on lots of experience. The organisers gave me permission to publish it on our website with the following message:
“I would be happy to discuss any aspects with your fellow Swan owners. Maybe some might like to cross course with us and join up for a spot of refreshment?”
