Sailing back to Greece

What can I say, the winter months in Motril have not been the best, never seen so much non stop rain and storms and now my plans have firmly changed : I am going back to far away sunny Greece.
First leg first though : I am looking for 2 or 3 people at the beginning of May to join me for this first leg. From Motril to Denia, an enjoyable sailing adventure (10/14 days max), 350 NM, stopping along the way, enjoying some good sailing, beautiful sites, and good time... ( Almeria, Cabo de Gata, Aguilas, Mazaron, Cartagena, Alicante, Tabarca island, Calp, Altea... and more if we feel like it), we might also cross over to the Baleares... Who knows, the wind and the seas are not cast in stones and nor are our stops or sailing days but the adventure should not take any longer than 10 days (max 2 weeks depending on weather). In any case the final stop is Denia. Regarding costs, I do not contribute to your travel to and from the boat... But I'll take care of all boat expenses (harbours, marinas, repairs, fuel...) and usually we contribute equally for food costs and other common expenses on board (loo rolls, washing up liquid..., it usually works out at around 70 euros per week), and when we go out for a meal or a drink, either we share, invite, or take turns...

The boat is a classic 35-foot blue water yacht with a long keel, a beautiful wooden interior and all the charm and the comfort of another era. Since I bought this boat in Amsterdam in 2014, we've sailed over 22000 nautical miles together. This yacht is well-maintained, safe and regularly surveyed. (New engine (2022), new main sail (2023/24), new furler, new forestay 2025, new genoa (2025), new fuel tanks 2026, modern electronics including autopilot, GPS, plotter, and VHF radio, full safety gear: lifelines, life jackets, life raft, EPIRB, and more...).
Over the last 12 years, the boat has welcomed over 70 "sailors" and "aspiring sailors" women or men from aged from 14 years to 67 years, from all walks of life, all nationalities...
