We had a little snafu getting our quarantine flag down after checking in to Türkiye. The line for hoisting the flag broke up at the top and our quarantine flag was wedged into the ring high up the mast. So we decided we could either: A)stay in quarantine for the rest of our sailing …
As we crossed the channel between Greece and Türkiye, we were escorted ever so briefly by a welcoming committee. What a wonderful world we live in. Checking in to Türkiye requires cruisers to hire an agent to help you process the paperwork. Our agent was fantastic and walked us all down to the immigration building …
We motored over to Chios where we officially checked out of Greece. It was time to lower our Greek flag and get ready to fly our Turkish and quarantine flags. We’re gonna miss the friendly Greek people we’ve come to love, and how we’ve learned to read and speak some basic Greek and the …
Our last little Greek town before making the short crossover to Türkiye was Inousses where we found a little island with three churches on it. After walking around Inousses’ quiet little town, we motored our way over to the island nearby to check out the three churches. The wind was whipping but our concern …

Remember that game you played as a kid, “Red Light, Green Light”—the one where you ran as fast as you could until someone stopped you by shouting “Red Light!” It seems we’re playing a little game of it out here the in Med with Mother Nature. But when she shouts “Red Light” it sounds …
Our dreamy sun and sand filled beach from our last post turned rainy the next day, so we stayed indoors and got some laundry done and made a plan to head around the corner to Skiathos town if the sun decided to reappear. The following day the skies gave up its gloomy disposition and …
