After some provisioning and playing in Poros, we’re underway and sailing over to Epidaurus to see if we can find the little remnants of a sunken city. We’ve got Kris back on deck and her skills are still fresh so we’re enjoying a sunny sail with extra working hands aboard.
Póros seems to be a town with a thousand stunning views. From high up at the clock tower, anchored in the bay, and every nook and cranny in between—a great place to start adventuring with Kris aboard.
It’s an early Christmas aboard Bedouin as we unpacked all the stuff Kristy muled over to us from the states. Mark was especially excited to have some new hatches. His ongoing project to freshen the boat up and replace them all is underway. Miraculously, Kris packed them with such expertise that they all arrived in …
Look who’s back! Kris braved another long fight and came back to see us. We have officially given her the not-so-glamorous title “Bedouin Mule.” The poor girl seems to have a raw talent for expertly packing a suitcase (or two) full of miscellaneous boat parts and hauling them over to us. This time …
📩 Dear Mr. Boat Bakery Man, Please stop peddling your beguiling baked goods so early in the morning when my ability to refrain from them is at an all time low. Some of us are trying hard not to fat out of our swimsuits and your gluten-laden offerings are testing our will-power way too …
When you’re sailing, provisioning is always an adventure. In Greece, it’s a high intensity activity since most labels are beyond even the comprehension of Google Translate. It’s a gamble every time you buy food that whatever you put in your cart is actually what you thought it was supposed to be. I’ve bought …
We stayed in a Marina in Athens to get some projects done (and hide from some vicious winds). Our windlass is happy and working again, we have new wheels on our passerelle, and we bought a BBQ! With all that free electricity, we cranked out the sewing machine and Mark made a spiffy cover for …
After transiting the Corinth Canal, we were now on the eastern side of Greece in the Aegean Sea. This put us near our friends Karen and Marcel. Last year we bought our boat from them and a fabulous new friendship came with the purchase. They have spent the entire season sailing their new Lagoon catamaran …
We make our own power here on Bedouin and a certain captain doles it out like a controlled substance. He tracks its use and lets us know when we can charge things or not. Today I discovered someone charging an old school notebook which I consider a flagrant abuse of power. And since there’s …
We transited the Corinth Canal today. It’s pretty impressive: Four miles long, Seventy feet wide Rock walls that reach three hundred feet above. There’s quite a current flowing inside the channel which was a surprise, and an even swifter cash flow out of our wallet and going into the port office when we paid €295 …
