The Dodecanese Cruise, July 2005

Click on the tabs above to see pictures from our 2005 cruise aboard Summer Star (a Sun Odyssey 55). Our crew was Andrea Christensen, Kip Francis, Sam Francis, Susan French, Lydia and Ed Kitfield, Ruth and Pierce Ostrander, Karen and George Paul, Alan Pooley, Tom Rowe, Jason Schlusser, Scott Sears, and Priscilla Valls.

We visited 12 islands in 14 days during our whirlwind tour of the eastern Aegean (whirlwind in more ways than one). Memorable were two overnight passages (Patmos-Mykonos and Kos-Rhodes), the former with headwinds gusting to gale force, and the latter starting with a beautiful sunset, a following breeze, and guitars in the cockpit.

Below are two images: a map of our route, and a spectacular satellite photo of Santorini, the island where we changed crews. In the Santorini image you can see the pier at Vlychada where we docked our boat (easier to see if you view the image at full size).
