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 …
In Linaria, we enjoyed a nice dinner on the quay. All was still quiet in this little town and the locals seemed to be enjoying the quiet of their quay without the frenzied mobs of tourists that are soon to arrive. At dinner, a woman came to our table to take our order, it …
Ever wonder how we get fuel on the boat? And yes, we know the whole point of sailing is not to use fuel. But, for those times when the wind doesn’t cooperate…we end up using our “iron spinnaker,” which takes a bit of gas. We thought we’d show you what it looks like …

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 …
On our way to Türkiye, we stopped over in Skiathos and found a unicorn. Also, a flock of swans, a gaggle of geese, and a bevy of Polish teenagers. The unicorn was the real find: a Greek beach with powdery sand, warmed up by the sun, and not a pebble or rock in sight. …
