186. Hydra
From the beautiful Ermioni it was only a short crossing to the island of Hydra. And after a few days in the harbor, I always love seeing the white sails on the open sea again! Especially in this high season, many boats are sailing here enthusiastically in the Saronic Gulf! We arrive at the island […]
185. Maintenance and upgrades
Just like with a house, on a boat you have cleaning, maintenance, repairs, and upgrades. The big difference is: if you don’t do your maintenance on time here, your house sinks 😉. So, every now and then we need to do some repairs or buy things, because living on salt water on a moving vessel […]
184. Ermioni
After the beautiful Poros, we decided to sail further south. To Ermioni – not an island, but a town on the Peloponnese. We had read great reviews about it on the sailors’ app Navily, and after four hours of sailing from Poros, we arrived in Ermioni. Ermioni is built on a narrow peninsula that juts […]
183. Poros
We had heard great things about the island of Poros, located further south in the Saronic Gulf, so we cast off from Perdika on Aegina and headed south. That’s the beauty of sailing in Greece—out of the 6,000 islands, you’re almost never more than 2 or 3 hours away from your next destination! Though to […]
182. Egina
After all our adventures in the Netherlands, the USA and Aruba, we’re back on the catamaran in Greece and happily sailing again! The catamaran had been docked in the same marina for quite some time due to all our work trips, but now we’re back on the move. Let me take you along on our […]

179. Dutch visit April 2025
End of March we flew from Athens to Amsterdam and enjoyed 3 weeks in the Netherlands! Since we started our worldtrip (on 1. May), this is what we have done always: back to Holland in April and October. For family/friends visits and giving training on location, so work. Usually even 2 times more in a […]
178. Cyclades
After a wonderful winter period of 8 weeks on Crete (winter here lasts until April 1st!), we sailed to Athens via the Cyclades. From there, we would fly to the Netherlands to give training sessions and visit family. The distance between Crete and Athens isn’t that great — about 130 nautical miles, which is around […]
177. Crete – East and South
After exploring the north and west of the island of Crete, it was time to discover the east and then head south! Here are the top 10 spots in the south and east that we visited and want to share with you: 1. Agios Nikolaos We had rented a car to explore the eastern side […]
