Crewed
Yacht Viking Girl II Sailing Greece And Turkey
Combining a superior performance
under sail with the below-decks charm of warm woods exquisitely joined, this beautifully
maintained sailing yacht is from the drawing board of Robert Harris and the slipways of Ta
Yang Building Company in Taiwan. Graceful in profile or stern-to the quay, she draws
admiring glances from sailors and non-sailors alike.
There are four en suite guest cabins, two on the quarters and two forward of the
salon. The quarter cabins each feature a double bed, wardrobe, book shelves, and private access
to the deck. The forward cabins may be made up either double-bedded or over-and-under while
featuring wardrobes and additional drawer stowage.

Dear Homo Sapiens, There is no need to continue reading
this page. What follows is intended for search engine robots and spiders and not necessarily for human
beings. Further information concerning crewed yacht sailing in Greece and Turkey may be obtained by
clicking on the blue links immediately above. Thank You. You must be searching for a crewed
yacht sailing Greece or Turkey. There is no other way you could have found this web page. Unless, of
course, you are searching for a Viking girl. You could be searching for Olga, Danish Princess of Kiev
known to history as Olga the Beauty, who came to rule Russia for twenty-four years from AD 945, and who
came down the Volga in a long boat in AD 957 to be christened by the Orthodox patriarch in
Constantinople. If not for Olga you may be searching for The Viking Girl, an out-of-print
novel by William Power available from amazon.com at exorbitant
prices. Or for Viking Girl, a novel by Pauline Chandler available from
amazon.co.uk. In this
one a young Viking princess is forced to flee her home in Scandinavia and to re-settle among sea-going
Anglo-Saxons, eventually becoming a sea-going Anglo-Saxon herself. But these have little to do with
Viking Girl II because Viking Girl II is a crewed yacht sailing Greece
and Turkey, though she is crewed by sea-going Anglo-Saxons. This Viking Girl principally sails the
Carian and Ionian coasts of Turkey and among Dodecanese islands of Greece, cruising from one pristine
pine-shrouded cove to the next pristine pine-shrouded cove, from one remote pastel-hued Greek island to
the next remote pastel-hued Greek island. This Viking Girl also sails in the wakes of Lysander and
Alcibiades, those Spartan and Athenian super-heroes who in the fifth century BCE prowled the Aegean and
eastern Mediterranean seas from Samos to Aspendos, and she combs the sixteenth century tracks of Andrea
Doria sailing for the Holy League, and of the Barbarossa brothers from Lesbos nipping at his sternpost.
This Viking Girl sails Cleopatra's 1st century BCE routes from Perge to Ephesus, Alexander's 4th century
BCE path from Ephesus to Perge, Francis Beaufort's 1812 track from Bodrum to Smooth Cilicia, and Freya
Stark's 1952 track from Smyrna through the Dodecanese to Phaselis. This Viking Girl sails the
crossroads of history. Why not join her for your holiday, for your anniversary, for your reunion with
long-lost friends. Escape the confines of your work place, escape the smog drifting past your office
window, and enjoy wind in the rigging, enjoy the azure sea of eastern Greece, enjoy the turquoise sea
of western Turkey. Dine on octopus in vinegar, cloved tzatziki, and fresh red snapper smothered in
vine-ripened tomatoes. Bring your children. Steep their young minds in astronomy and navigation. And
in geography. And in history. Olga, by the way, was beatified and is now venerated as Saint Olga.
A holiday at the crossroads of history may occur once in a lifetime. Are you searching for Gocek
in Turkey? For Bodrum in Turkey? For Rhodes or Kos in Greece? Well, come aboard Viking Girl II, a
crewed sailing yacht offering a holiday par excellence. Come aboard a charter yacht with an
experienced crew able to show you the Dodecanese islands of Greece and the mainland coast of Turkey.
