Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails.

Got to Mykonos

Hello,

Well, we are docked in Mykonos...

We had our first experience with this Med Mooring.... essentiallly backing into a sea wall and throwing our anchor over.  It was interesting, but after a couple failed attemps and some nice greek on-lookers both boats made it to shore and we were able to dock next to each other.

This morning Captain Mike woke  at 6am to set sail.... everyone was troopers and woke for a great sunrise sail to Mykonos.  After sailing over 60 nautical miles in 30+ knots of breeze we moored (again).  Each time we get better and better, but everyone is super helpful.

The girls on Reggina learned to sail 6 + foot rollers and everyone is learning how much fun big wind can be.

Tomorrow we depart for Paros (EARLY).  The boats will spend 2 days in Paros so some of the sailors can to Santorini.

Sorry no pics yet... the Greek writing is challenging.

Missing you in the States, but having the time of our lives.
Captain Nic
