We’re back from two unforgettable weeks sailing through the Greek Dodecanese! 🇬🇷⛵️

Four boats, 29 Canadian sailors, and days filled with island exploring, swims in the Aegean, incredible Greek food and plenty of laughs along the way. 🌊🍽️

Here’s a look back at some of the places we explored along the way:

Sept 5 | Kos: Crews arrived, provisioned four boats and got ready to cast off.

Sept 6–7 | Leros: We sailed to the fishing village of Panteli, then explored the island by moped—with a few nerve-racking turns on the way to the castle! 🛵🏰

Sept 9–10 | Lipsi: A sunrise departure, breakfast at anchor near Archangelos and a warm welcome at Manoli’s taverna. The next evening brought local w**e and a spectacular sunset at Nico Grylli Winery. 🍷

Sept 11 | Arkoi: We dropped anchor in a secluded blue-water lagoon for swimming and a peaceful evening with the flotilla. 🤿

Sept 12–14 | Patmos: Great sailing, an incredible Monastery and fun “Greek fisherman's festival” . 🏝️

Sept 14 | Levitha: Dining at the 200 year old family farmhouse on Levitha.

Sept 15-17 | Astypalaia: Stunning castle protecting the mountain top Chora .

Sept 17 | Kalymnos: The fishing and sponge capital of the Dodecanes.

Sept 18 | Pserimos & Kos: Checking out one more beach and catching another Mediterranean swim.

Yamas to everyone who sailed with us! 🥂
