An unfortunate discovery was recently made during one of the many trips we took to the local hardware store on Aegina. Usually we pay in cash but this time we used our credit card which had our name on it. Our new friend Spilos, who runs the store, looked down at the name on …
The island of Aegina became our home for a couple weeks while we closed down the boat. These little scenes became so familiar to our eyes and yet we never lost our sense of awe for this lovely town and its friendly people. Sailing is full of both the splendid and enough work to keep …
It’s work time aboard Bedouin. All hands on deck getting our little house tucked away for a few months this winter so we can head home and visit with family and friends. Thankfully Kris is still here–she actually planned her trip out to include helping us with the close up, how cool is that?! Never …
Our first sailing season on Bedouin is finished up and we headed out early this morning for our appointment to get hauled out. It was a beautiful morning and we soaked up every last drop of our last leg with so much appreciation for our first season on Bedouin.
Our daughter-in-law loves cats and if you want to see cats, Greece is your place. We thought we’d post the ones I saw today, just for her. They smile and make us think of her. Here’s to Rachel, who fits into our family PUR-fectly.

An Octopus likes to cover up the entrance to their den by collecting sea trinkets and spreading this odd collection of …
Our last week before putting the boat “on the hard” for the winter. Soaking up the last bit of sunshine and the clearest water that made us feel like we were perched on a glass tabletop.
It was surreal to be anchored just off the coast where the fascinating remnants of a sunken city lie. During our week in Epidaurus, we’d jump overboard and snorkel over to tour the submerged ruins on a daily basis. Our backyard this week has brought some phenomenal experiences. These are screenshots from our drone and …
Just an hour drive from our anchorage in Epidaurus, we transported ourselves back to the Bronze Age—to 1300 BC, where there once stood a great Mycenaean palace. Remnants of the great wall remain, but it is now hemmed in by olive groves. During the Bronze Age, Mycenae was a powerful kingdom, perhaps echoed in …
Epidaurus’ beauty knows no bounds. Just a short dingy ride past the ruins and citrus groves you’ll find yourself a few caves to tuck into and explore.
