You have evidently cruised the Cyclades. We are bareboating there next month and would appreciate your advice... any advice - but specifically: We're picking up the yacht in Poros. We have it for two weeks. The first week will be just my wife and I, but then we will pick up our son and his partner. My wife and I have sailed the Peleponese before so our plan is to sail in the Cyclades in the first week, but then the Peleponese in the second week.
Our thought is that the winds are stronger in the Cyclades, which we will enjoy, and then have a quieter week the second week - particularly for our son's partner who has not sailed before.
We prefer quiet (but comfortable) anchorages to busy quaysides.
Questions: Does that sound reasonable to you? Kea is quite a long sail from Poros. Is it reasonable in a day (and back at the end of the week)? According to the wiki, Kea and surrounds can be busy with yachts from Athens at weekends. Is this still true in September? Any other advice?
Thanks!

Thanks for all the tidying up you're doing on the Croatia pages. I must admit I tend to simply copy and paste a previous port or island page when creating a new one, inserting new content, photos and sometimes headings for the new page. Unfortunately, this can result in perpetuating inadvertent format changes, thus creating more work. Perhaps when you've progressed a bit in checking all my Croatia pages (there's quite a few to go!) you could select an island, port and marina page that you consider 'model' examples and I will use them in future as templates. It makes life easier than starting from scratch with blank templates. Best wishes. GORDON

Hi Vasilis
Thanks for spotting the missing 'N' - I've found one more and corrected it. Also for tweaking the marina pages - again, it's one of the problems with copying and pasting pages; although it saves time, any mistakes in one page get replicated indefinitely until they're detected. I'll ensure I use one of the corrected pages as a template if I do another port or marina page.
Best wishes.
