The 2010 season began at Preveza, where Malua had spent the winter ashore. The route led through the Ionian and west to Sicily and Italy, then towards Sardinia and Corsica. From Corsica we continued along the Italian and French Rivieras. The season combined substantial passages with one particularly important destination — a family wedding in Corsica.
