April 28 to June 25, 2008 - EMYR

A group of 80 boats will travel together along the western and southern coasts of Turkey, to Northern Cyprus, Syria, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt.  We actually head back to Israel after Egypt and finish there on June 18th.  We will probably organize a tour of Jordan from there after the rally ends.

July - September, 2008 - Making our was westward out of the Mediterranean

We'll probably visit the Greek side of Cyprus as a first stop out of Israel, and then continue along the Turkish coast, stopping at spots we missed or favorite places along the way.  We'll spend a month or so visiting the Greek islands.  We plan to stop in Malta, and perhaps Tunisia, Sicily, southern Sardinia, Menorca and Mallorca.  I'm not sure we'll hit Gibraltar again but we'd love to see Morocco. 

October - December, 2008 - Set up for a crossing from Cape Verde to Barbados

The Atlantic Coast of Morocco, the Canary Islands and Cape Verde.  1,800 miles from Cape Verde to Barbados - hoping to arrive before Christmas Day.

January - June, 2009 - The Caribbean

We'll make our way slowly south through the Caribbean, aiming to be in South America for the 2009 hurricane season.  That's about as far as we have planned to date.  (April, 2008)
