Steve,
So glad you had a great trip. It's hard to believe it's been a year since my wife and I were there! I'm jealous of your windy conditions though. We had nothing but calm for 7 days straight (apparantly not the norm) and had really hoped for some wind on our crossing to Kimilos. Oh well .... we'll just have to go back!
Our group was a neat mixture of people too. A New Zealander, a couple of Brits, a few Americans and my wife and I from Canada.
I noticed on Rod's website that he's added some new trip options. I'll definitely have to keep those in mind!
