The boat spent the 2011-2012 winter season in France, well positioned for a leisurely float from continental Europe to Malta.
Our trip began near Marseilles in May, and we continued along the coast towards Cannes. We crossed to the French island of Corsica and traveled along its western coast. From there, we went to Italy's Sardinia and Sicily, and made our way to tiny, wonderful Malta.
The season wasn't over by the time we arrived there, so we made another trip to Sicily, just for fun, in September.
