Trevor and Dinah Thompson explore sailing the Adriatic

Explore Sailing topics with Imray and Ceri Hurford-Jones, today’s guests are Dinah and Trevor Thompson who have been keen sailors since childhood. Trevor began his time at sea with a brief stint in the Merchant Navy. Dinah began sailing in Poole harbour. Then together in 1973, they got together pooling their resources to buy a 17ft sailing cruiser, getting as far as St Ives with her. Various adventures and boats later they purchased Joleta of Pettycur, a 26' junk rigged beauty in which they set off to sail to the Mediterranean, and the boat which was their floating home in the Adriatic. Keen to pass on their knowledge to the next generation, both have formed deep relationships with their local Sea Cadet Corps, but their Magnum Opus is, The Adriatic Pilot first published by Imray in 1986 and now in its eighth edition.
