We are wrapped up in our winter woollies and picking the hailstones up off the deck. It has been hailing, thundering and blowing for the last 2 days. We are very cosy but baby its cold outside!

About Me
- Cap'n Buck and Pippy
- Born in New Zealand and having spent most of our lives there, our dream to sail the Mediterranean sprang from our combined love of the sea and many years of cruising and racing around the New Zealand coast line and parts of the South Pacific. We arrived in Europe in early April 2008 when we were fortunate to be able to participate in the Eastern Mediterranean Yacht Rally (EMYR), sailing from Turkey to Egypt via Cypress, Syria, Lebanon and Israel. This Rally gave us a wealth of experience in berthing Med style, overnight passaging, communication with port authorities, immigration procedures, navigation and sea and weather conditions in the Med. From Israel we flew to Slovenia in June where we purchased our ideal vessel our 2003 Beneteau 411 Celebration (with performance rig) “SY Matelot”. She is a well appointed, safe and comfortable live aboard with an ability to sail and perform well. Since arriving in the Med we have passaged over 3,000 nautical miles from Slovenia (Isola) in the Northern Adriatic, to Port Said in Egypt. We are loving this very special experience and are looking forward to sharing it with friends and family on board SY Matelot.
