So far I’ve made it from Limassol to Larnaca airport (thanks to my brother for a lift), flew from Larnaca to Athens by Sky airlines, and got to the Lavrion marina by taxi (around 40 minute drive).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boat we’re going to be sailing is the X-Yachts X43<\/a> – a luxury performance cruiser. I’ve been on this particular one a few times, including the trip last December, from Lavrion to Limassol, Cyprus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We’ve got on the boat, got ourselves settled and figured tomorrow’s morning plan. There’s plenty to do, including supplies shopping, fueling, and a test drive the new sails before we start our adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We haven’t yet decided on our route. We’ll figure it out tomorrow. As we have a couple of options: either going through the Corinth Canal<\/a> or around the Peloponnese<\/a> region. Both have pros and cons. But that’s not the decision for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The decision for now is whether to sleep inside or outside in the cockpit. In basic terms: comfortable but hot vs. fresh air, possible mosquitos and wooden bench. A sip of rum is working towards the outside option… Good night! <\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\n
