I want to thank all my listeners for their comments and positive reviews in iTunes.

As a result of one of these comments I have put together a 7 hour 6 min. 16 lesson audio course to help students prepare for the American sailing Association Basic Keelboat Certification commonly referred to as the ASA 101 exam.

In this episode I cover part one of the Cyclades the islands of Kia, Kithnos and Serifos.

The Cyclades chain is a large area and I do not recommend beginning charterers start out here the the weather patterns in the summer can be quite challenging. But I do suggest that if you choose to charter here choosing charter basis far south in the islands as possible knowing that during your charter. You'll be working your way north and should the dreaded Meltimi start to blow you know it's a sleigh ride home.

I am debating putting together a trip sometime this winter and interested in finding out if there is a demand for my listening audience to join me on a sailing charter vacation somewhere warm, and Justin beginnings exploration stages of this idea and I'm thinking of New Zealand, French Polynesia, or Thailand. If you would have any interest in joining me on such a trip let me know your interest and your budget. If there's not enough interest I'll just drop the idea.
