you know all it's been a long time

without videos we were unfortunately

stacked with land-based chores in spring

2017 we do our maintenance in his mirror

at the 11th marina whether it is to move

boats or sand her or painted these guys

really know their job after completion

of the maintenance we take the boat for

a shakedown cruise in the eastern part

of the Asian comprised of the islands of

chose Acharya and Samos

[Music]

unusual for Izmir the day is actually

dead can after motoring for most of the

day we spend the night in the cave of

caribou rune the next day a

south-easterly has replaced the usual

northwesterly so we go on a close reach

to chase me do our exit then too close

to our entry into Greece pick up my

brother and go on to Emporia south of

the Chios Island the beer vampires is

next to two beaches of dark shingles of

volcanic origins the landscape is

gorgeous and on top of it we find a

bounty of rocks and fire one of our

preferred grains to forage on Shores

[Music]

[Music]

and together with our gourmet food at

last comes the North westerly

[Music]

from initially 12 knots the wind

eventually reaches 25 the bodies flying

signing at 11 on 5 knots as we are

arriving in Cape trepanning north of

Acharya it is definitely time to throw

the code 0

[Music]

you

the beauty of Acharya has been preserved

by its isolation and limited access over

time today it is becoming famous for its

clusters of long living healthy senior

citizens with more centenarians than

what I can count

[Applause]

the pristine water is said to have

medicinal benefit in several sprains

along the coast we heard a is such a

spraying in ayahuasca rico's so we moved

there to try it at 38 degrees the water

is quite warm and yes

it worked by this time Acharya has had a

deep charming effect on us and we rent a

car to explore mountain villages

[Music]

which a weary soul to rest

yeah I will try to do my best to keep

you safe inside this

to her

like to say

it's more cloudy what prevailed in these

villages is a sense of calm of peace of

mind and the absence of stress even in a

city like FD loss the northern harbour

we don't witness any agitation and

traffic any more strength before heading

back to the boat we are actually taking

a look at our next goal

fawni fawni was a pirate Nest for

centuries before our times it is also

known as the most dangerous area of the

Asian there are in fact more than 54

ancient shipwrecks in less than 17

square miles

[Music]

cruising from Shawnee archipelago where

we spent the night

just south of Acharya and currently

heading towards theta Gurion in Samos

Island the wind is about 20 knots 20 to

25 in gas

Ronnie and Sammis full genuine and to

reefing the mainsail

after arresting in the port of Peeta

Goren we said to explore historical

landmarks first is the temple of Harrah

built five hundred and ninety years BC

and destroy about four hundred years

after Christ only one column remained

after the dreadful earthquake then we

hiked three kilometers to the tunnel of

McCarran a polina's supposed to be the

first known hydraulic engineer in the

world the four of us intended to visit

and fortunately due to his young age

tail needs to stay out and as let me

stay with you the tunnel completed

around 550 BC was the longest of its

time 1036 meters long about 3,400 feet

built from both sides the palace used

dogleg and increasing height in opposite

directions quite an intelligent design

to ensure that both and like elsewhere

in Greece the evening life in theta

growing revolves around the Tavares

where we end the day

so this one is made by the restaurant

owner

suppose we're heading into the one base

in Turkey

[Music]

these are storm clouds the pink one on

our left we have this cloud over there

and on our back we have this one and the

correspond to these clouds

which means we're gonna have some storm

so we hope it will happen after we drop

the anchor

so the Genoa is filled the mainsail is

grub well close the bag when we arrive

because we just try to focus on reaching

the bay after the rain comes the Sun the

next morning in a bright sunny day we

proceed to out and carry

stopped for a family Iranian the next

morning we depart for Chios do our exit

ferry to Athens we sell to church may do
