End-of-the-year holidays with the family in Greece!

Image
 We are staying more than 10 days outside of the boat.  We berthed it in Aegina island, 40 min in ferry across Athens.  And booked hotels in different placed to welcome our son and my mom during these special Christmas holidays.  It's a little getaway for me, finally being able to take a long hot shower and sleep in a real bed is a real treat.  We started off with Athens where we stayed several days before hitting the sea again. But not before gathering up with friends from Hong Kong! We were at large again, but this type by ferry.  We all set off to Santorini. The island is basically deserted during the winter.  And maybe it's for the best.  And finally we went inland to Meteora to see the beautiful monasteries on top of breath-taking cliffs. 

Navigation #174 Neoreio-Aegina, our final destination before going back

  Short sailing, no wind, and worse it was head wind. so we reached our final destination! before turning around and heading back to France. We reached 16.6 NM in 4h at 3.9 knots average. We had a hard time anchoring at the port... we ll leave the boat here for 10 days as we go on Xmas holidays with our family!

Navigation #159 Corfu-Molos (Corfu south)

  We lost all data from this sailing. It was roughly 28,7 NM in 6h07 averaging 4,7 knots average. A lot of wind squalls so we stopped and found shelter. It ll be worse tomorrow. Today peak gusts were 20knots. With peak speed above 7 knots.
