Bavaria 47 Cruiser

Two families, 4 adults and 6 kids. One family was a novice. It was a dream. We didn't expect such wonderful places; we thought the best of Greece were the Cyclades. We were wrong. The west side of Paxos, Antipaxos, Lefkas, Cephalonia, is simply spectacular. Atokos is a gem, Kalamos and Kastos are dreamy. Ithaca is beautiful. The wind comes almost every afternoon, quite strong, so we often had to reduce the sails, but the sea was always calm. A delight in complete safety. The boat was a lovely old lady. It was in perfect shape, really well maintained. Maximum cleanliness in the bilge, the bulb prisoners looked like new. Fins, masks, inverter. The solar panels worked great, allowing us to spend 14 days at anchor always with chilled white wine (vertical refrigerator, a great thing!). The only downside: the dinette cannot be converted into a double bed. So if there are 10 people, the two who are not in the cabin sleep on the sofas. For us, the problem was minimal because three kids took turns sleeping, to their delight, in the cockpit or on the hammock, but not mentioning this in the specifications is a shortcoming.
