Winter boat schedules, Symi
Everything is under control and things are going well here. We’re out and about some days, staying in and being homely on others, the weather is fair again though you can feel the temperature dropping and the sea is calm. All’s well.
I learned a handy tip from Andy who runs the Symi Visitor Travel blog. This may be of interest to anyone coming and going through the winter. I was looking around for boats in November and looked at my usual two sites, Blue Star and Dodecanese Seaways. Blue Star has the timetable there but Dodec doesn’t as yet. (At least that’s what I thought, read on…) Andy suggested looking at Sea Dreams, the day boat that comes in, and I’d not thought to do that as I wasn’t expecting it to run in the winter.
There’s a link to the Timetable in the top menu and then you click on the Symi-Panormitis subtitle and the timetable opens up. It’s dated all the way through to the 6th March next year. I was looking at a week in November when Neil is coming back from his family visit. Although there’s not a sailing on the Saturday he needs, there is one the following day so if all else fails he can come back on the good old Symi for a bit of nostalgia. The link to Sea Dreams is right here.
By the way, looking at the Dodecanese Seaways timetable for November I noticed that there are sailings advertised from 14th November through to 20th December (and possibly beyond, but I didn’t look that far). The Pride is running on six days per week, four of them to Symi – Monday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Strangely, they haven’t listed anything for the first two weeks of November, which means, I assume, the boats will be having a service at that time. Or else they’ve not decided what to do with them yet.
Amway, I didn’t sit down here to babble on about boats, though the links might be handy for you. I sat down to share some more photos, which I’ve done now, so I’m off. Have a good day.
