Sailing the Greek Cyclades Islands on a 45 ft. catamaran

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).
