Robbie 4 Comments

Ken, April and I met with my dear long time friend Penny from California and her friend Laurie from Nashville for our yacht sailing to the Cyclades Islands in Greece.  We arrived at the marina and met our crew and set sail on June 11th.

Our home for 7 days. Nahoa is a 45 ft. Fontaine Pajot (Elba 45).

The skipper’s chart. We discussed routes every day as the weather was changing.
Gregoire was our skipper. He is 29 years old but very experienced. Tami was our hostess and cooked amazing traditional Greek meals and took care of all our needs.
