Sailing the Mediterranean - Part I

For two years from late 2001 through to the summer of 2003 we cruised the Mediterranean onboard our Jeanneau 43DS sailboat Dragonsinger. These pictures attempt to capture moments of sailing, passage making, and being at anchor. The opening set of pictures covers our first overnight passage from Port St. Louis du Rhone to Port Vendres, France and from there down the coast of Spain and through the Balearics.
