SAIL Italia

Dear friends,

I know many (24!) of you were looking forward to this extraordinary sailing event as much as I was, so it really breaks my heart to tell you I had to cancel it.

The yacht brokers in Greece made a huge error in their accounting. It seems that despite our back and forth communication and their continuous itinerary date confirmation (since last April!), only hours before giving them a substantial non refundable deposit and while on a “final check” phone call with the actual boat owners, did they realize the broker had been quoting me a 2 DAY rental price for a 2 WEEK trip!
