Balchik, Bulgaria (ca 47 Nm from Mangalia, Romania)

Sans Peur

Grete & Fred Vithen

Sun 5 Jul 2015 19:30

Tomorrow, 4 July, we will leave Romania and sail for Balchik, port of entry, in Bulgaria.

75 Nautical Miles will take us between 11 and 12 hours.

Means an early start and another round with formalities before we go. These guys really are into stamps, hand writing and papers. Not a single computer around.
