The 2015 trip to the British Virgin Islands was a great success and many of the 21 members who went on the trip have asked about visiting the Caribbean again.
After some discussion we have now finalised a ten day flotilla to the Grenadines starting in Saint Vincent on January 12th 2019 and ending in Grenada on January 22nd.
Here in lies the story of the intrepid adventures of Oxted Offshore in Turkey September 2017.
Arrived in Gocek, Thursday 14th September 2017 to be informed that our Yacht will not be delivered to Gocek due to some problem, however the charter company has offered to send a minibus to pick us up on Saturday and take us to Bodrum, a trip that takes 3 hours. This upsets our plans somewhat as we were due to meet up with two other OXO yachts; on the upside our new passage plan sailing from Bodrum back to Gocek will be very interesting.
Göcek Gulf Cruise
Plans are now firmly in place for a week long cruise exploring the Göcek Gulf commencing September 16th 2017. It’s an interesting area and Rhodes is only 25 miles away.
Eight members of Oxted Offshore have confirmed interest and plan to team up on a Fountaine Pajot Lipari 41 catamaran however this could be altered should more members wish to join.
Itinerary for the cruise to be agreed:
Please contact the club if this is of interest to you.
Following on from last years successful trip to Skiathos Nicky and Howard from Nautilus Yachting have kindly organised for another event this year in Greece’s beautiful North Ionian including Paxos and Anti-Paxos. Three boats are already confirmed for the flotilla departing on Sunday September 29th for Preveza airport and arriving back in the UK on Sunday 6th of August.
Tourist Map of the North Ionian islands
The Oxted Offshore party of 14 arrived in Skiathos this morning and were able to sign off the 3 yachts and head for the supermarket before setting sail for Skopolos where we arrived around 19:00 in Loutraki.
Many thanks to OO Member John Rutherford for last weekend for letting myself and a number of other members come racing with him in the June Summer Series Royal Southern 175 Regatta. We experienced testing conditions and the 2nd race on Saturday was called off due to reports of 30 knot winds, the wind abated long enough on Sunday however for full days of racing; click here to read the full report of the racing on the Royal Southern website.
