I choose for this flight plan the hypothesis of Victor Bérard (1864-1931), who sailed on his own ship to relive the 10 years journey of Ulysses back to his kingdom of Ithaca.
While his wife Penelope was waiting for him, and had to deal with a group of unruly suitors, Ulysses 's son Telemachus was searching for his father around the Mediterranean sea.
For each leg you will find in italics the words relative to Homer's text, and the nearest point in Flight Simulator.
As far as water landings are concerned, such as Capri island, follow first the GPS target, secondly, refer to the simulator map with the exact position (N/E) indicated.
A long range amphibious is welcome for this flight plan.
