Holiday time is upon us

Just had some friends come back with as near as dam it no experience at sailing and they had agreat time.

Have a look at Turkey too. One of the best holidays we've ever had was a flotilla with Sunsail - every day jumping off the boat to wake you up, breakfast in a restaurant that you can only reach by boat, set sail and off to the next one.

Truly incredible.

We've just got a new computer and the photos aren't on here yet but I'll try and post a few once we've got ourselves sorted.



I still don't know where or when we're going in August! Possibly on a boat if we can get a good deal... Anyone been to Cape Verde?

11 days and counting

No, but I have looked at it several times over the past couple of years. A friend of mine went last summer, but stayed in one of the RIU all inclusive resorts - bit of a peasant thing to do going to such a beautiful place like that methinks.

I have read some good reviews of the place, although it is starting to become more and more commercialised. It is seemingly one of the most popular places for new developments in Europe (still classed as Europe due to Portuguese ownership I was led to believe?)

I have however bene put off by the high prices in comparison to the Greek Islands.

It does have some fantastic beaches and snorkeling/diving to be had.

I have just booked 11 days in Pefkos from 1st Aug. 3 star SC for 350 each. Co-op Travel. I am hoping it turns out to be an absolute bargain.
I have been given the advise of this location by a fellow J2Ski member so I am sure it will be superb!!
PS Cant wait....... 25 days to go.

Went to Turkey once, will never go back, a poor mans Greece

You can't tar the whole country with your brush just because you had a bad experience, I am pretty sure there will be more to Turkey than Marmaris

Trick to Turkey is to go on holiday before you go and get a serious tan, then they don't bother harrassing you as much in resort as they figure you are a local or have been there nearly two weeks
