Greek Island Charter May 20-27
Visiting the Greek Islands is any traveler’s dream, so why not visit by boat? Several AYC folks have expressed interest in going with me and Bonnie on this trip.

Note: This is not an AYC-sponsored trip. This trip is organized through Marina Sailing. All details, payments, etc, are managed with them. Read the fine print!
