Day 8 – The Boat Cleaners

Five friends on a boat in the Turkish sun,   After ten days of sailing, the trip nearly done.   They grab brushes and buckets, roll up their sleeves,   Laughing together as they clean up the leaves.   Someone turns on the music, their voices start to sing,   As they scrub off the salt, their joy takes wing.  …

Day 7 – Sunken city

Today we sailed by the sunken city as we left Kos, through both Greek and Turkish waters. We learned how to sail the boat and learned more about the direction of the winds.  We stayed the night at a bay and before dinner at land, we went for a swim. As the summer school is…

Day 6 – Sunrise hike & Kas

We (a very reduced group of Lisa & Josh) got up at a 5:45am and conquered a gruesome sunrise hike up to the highest mountain of Kastelorizzo. Acoompanied by stunning nature, lots of goats and a beautiful sun, we slowly made our way to the top and were rewarded by a beautiful sunrise and an…

One thing the Kastellorizo island is known for is its blue cave. Once per day, the sunlight reflects on the sea and shines blue on the inside walls of a cave, which is so tiny that had the boat driver not stopped by it, we would not have never seen it. Swimming in blue light…

8. Day – A Manifest

„Together Apart“ is an oxymoron, it is two ideas that at first sight seem mutually exclusive and irreconcilable, merged into one. Together apart means that we are so angry at the Polish parliament and at the Portuguese landlords that we want to start a world strike with both French and Soviet revolutionary children and to…

7. Day – The great tortuga 

As we set sail yet again Towards the blue bay  Where nature still has a say And still hold her reign  This journey was full of insight The sea showed off Rasmus’s might  We anchored Marleen with celebration  And then rejoiced in contemplation We swam with friendly turtles into the afternoon Until we saw the…
