• Greek Islands Day 7: Athens

    July 17, 2015 in Greece ⋅ ☀️ 32 °C

    We are heading back to Athens today. Alex leaves early as the
    wind has whipped up over night and it's not going to be that much fun on the
    water.. and it isn't. We lose a pillow in the process of heading back to the
    capital haha.

    The waves splash on board soaking us all in the
    process. We end up putting in the sails up and sailing in the hopes of riding
    the waves better, I think. By the end of it we are all soaked through, Alex
    especially. He has a salty beard, once the water had dried haha. The last I
    checked the wind has reached 26 knots, although I'm sure it went higher.

    As we drew closer to Athens we could see a huge smoke fire rising in the
    distance. Alex assumes it could be one of too things, a bush fire - although
    it's very close to the city, a protest, or an insurance job. I wondered what
    the world economy has been up to in our absence. I guess we're about to find
    out.

    Sailing the Greek Islands has been an amazing
    week. Medsailors are a fantastic group of people to go with and run a really
    good week. I definitley recommend them. I did get a little bored, haha not
    going to lie. But it was fun. Until next time ...
