Shanti’s Travels

Orikum, Albania. July 27, 2026.

Not exactly where I imagined launching a blog. But here we are — Christine and I aboard Shanti, tied to a dock in a small Albanian port while the air conditioning hums and the afternoon heat bakes everything outside.

Saturday we plan to cross to Corfu, Greece in the Ionian. We hope for at least a month of islands before we turn back north. This blog is the beginning of what promises to be a beautiful, occasionally complicated adventure.

Welcome aboard.

Our track from Durres, Albania to Orikum. A mix of sailing, motor-sailing, and just plain old motoring.
