VI Mid-Island Club Night – A West Mediterranean Islands Adventure

In 2001 Barrie and Sandra Letts purchased “their” perfect world cruiser,  Passat II. Since July 1, 2007 they have sailed the coasts of North America from the top of Pit Island (Prince Rupert) to Fredericton, NB (via the Panama Canal), spent 4 seasons in the NW Caribbean, crossed the Atlantic Ocean, circumnavigated the North Sea, cruised the Atlantic Coast of Europe and sailed the Western Mediterranean.

Following the experience of a tense night passage from Tangier to Gibraltar, join Barrie and Sandra as they lead us through three seasons of sailing in the Western Mediterranean, visiting the Islas Baleares (Ibiza, Mallorca and Menorca) Spain; Sargegna (Sardinia), Italy; Corse (Corsica) France; Elba and Sicilia (Sicily) in Italy, and Malta.

They will discuss their adventures, passages, anchorages, marinas, weather, history, culture, friends and – food and wine!!

Doors open at 7:00 pm and presentation will begin at 7:30 pm.  Bar will be open – come early to enjoy conversation and camaraderie.
