Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond — Neil Fletcher’s Summer Sailing Adventures

In this episode of Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond, my good friend and longtime podcast contributor Neil Fletcher returns to share stories from another summer on the water in Europe.

Neil has been contributing to the podcast for many years, and he has a wonderful ability to tell the stories of his adventures in a way that brings the experience of cruising to life. This time, he recounts his recent travels in France and Norway, but focusing mainly on 11 days on a riverboat in the canals and rivers of Burgundy. He shares practical details of how to do it, the experiences and people he encountered, and some of the memorable moments from his summer afloat.

Neil is one of my favorite sailors to sail with. We’ve shared some great adventures over the years, including sailing together aboard his boat in Sweden, and I’ve always enjoyed hearing about his continued explorations around Europe.

I really appreciate Neil taking the time to record this episode and share his stories with us. He tells these adventures much better than I ever could, and I think you’ll enjoy listening to him recount another summer on the water.

Thanks, Neil, for being such a longtime contributor to Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond – and for sharing another great sailing story with us.

Upcoming Sailing Opportunities

Sailing in the Mediterranean and Beyond isn’t going anywhere! I’m currently organizing a sailing sub-club at the Alta Club in Salt Lake City, and we’re planning a charter in Greece or Turkey next August.

If you’re interested in learning more—or if you’d like to explore the possibility of joining a separate charter with fellow listeners—I’d love to hear from you.

As always, thank you for listening.

Fair winds and following seas,

Franz Amussen
