> A lack of recent Blogs as Blue Magic has enjoyed a little holiday on the Quay in Agios Nickolaos whilst we have been home to the UK to move into a little city apartment in Southampton.
>
> It is lovely to have our own pad again since our house is still being rented by the nice Spanish family who moved in when we left the UK 4 years ago.
>
> We are looking forward to integrating back into life at home with family and friends plus we have all the excitement of wedding planning with Katie and Charlie who are tying the knot in March 2014.
>
> However, Blue Magic has been our home for the last four years and we aren't ready to give her up yet !
> So we plan to escape for a few months early and late summer over the next few seasons to continue our sailing adventure as we head West through the Mediterranean.
>
> True to form the wind has been blowing hard in the marina since our arrival on Monday so we have been busy planning our next destination.
>
> Plan A was to head for Malta, unfortunately this is not looking good as there are currently strong headwinds forecast, also plan B to head around Peloponnese, the Northern tip of Greece is not looking good for the same reason.
> So plan C is to head North through the Greek Cyclades Islands to the Corinth canal which cuts West through mainland Greece and out into the Ionian.
>
> This will be a good base for exploring Western Greece and the Ionian Islands plus an option to head North for Croatia and Italy before heading off for Malta and Sicily.
>
> So plan C it is .... Watch this space !
