Ged, please be aware that, in common with many Greek families, different branches of the Xilas family have/had different funnel colours. There was no question of any inter-Greek charter.

It was always nice to sail through the English channel and feel close to home, but I always found passing through the Bosphorus in the 1960s a wonderful experience.
