4. Day – Nisyros – Vulcano Trip
After extensive negotiations with the captain, we won the right to wake up at 7.10am! 🌋Nysiros is home to an active volcano, and has the fourth biggest caldera in the world caused by hydrothermic activity. It was an amazing experience and we danced in the caldera (centre of the crater) to the simmering smell of…

☀️With a long day ahead of us, we set sail at 6am with the #sunrise providing us with perfect views of pastel oranges and blues. Our breakfast also went sailing, riding a nearby wave onto the floor as we all fiercely held onto our plates for dear life. This invited a new breakfast delicacy, “oat-zarella”! …

We woke up at 6 AM to golden sky; no one once again is well slept. We set #sail with strong winds of 25 knots and as an old tradition, we greeted and blessed #Rasmus, the wind God, who clearly was not impressed as the wind suddenly picked up. At a certain point the boat…

Guten Morgen, good morning sunshine Our morning started with a fresh swim surrounded by Greek yiayia in cute bathing hats. Abbas had his first sea experience, concluding “very salty“. We prepared a breakfast feast, formed a truly admirable chain of command like army ants. The captain Andreas had the #safety talk and showed the importance…

Last sailing day: After a turbulent night on the ship with strong winds and celebrating neighbors, we set sails for a last trip towards Rhodes. Unlike the other days, Rasmus accepted our prayers for strong winds… although he might took it a bit to serious with wind strength 7. But after several days of training…

Today we were blessed by strong #winds as Rasmus finally accepted our prayers and gifts. We sailed on wind power only almost through the whole journey from Tilos to Panormitis Bay in Symi. We were back in Symi but this time we were on a different part of the island. There was a slight change of duties…

Not a single day starts without Marleen singing the Guten Morgen song and us, the crew, preparing a delicious breakfast. It was a sailing day again and we were blessed with strong Aegean winds that pushed us smoothly from #Nisyros to #Tilos island. Tobi piloted his #drone today and got some breathtaking shots but it was such an experience to catch…
Read MoreDay 5 – A hardy breakfast was needed for a long day ahead.
Every breakfast is an experience… we always see different cutting and presentation styles common to different #nationalities of our crew member. Today breakfast tasted heavenly under the cool and clean weather in Nisyros – the fig island. Nisyros may be small but it is a #mythological and #geologicaltreasure with breathtaking views. Our first stop of the day was to the…
Read MoreDay 4 – circumventing storms
Today started early as Marleen had to cover over 30 nautical #miles to take us to our next stop – Nisiros island. But the 7 hours voyage didn’t feel as long. While there was a storm close by, Rasmus spared us great weather conditions (thanks to the many gifts to him). On the boat the crew enjoyed…

We finished the second day with great music, dancing in the colourful streets of Symi. Next morning while, the majority of the group was still dreaming of the next adventures, Tobi started the day with a hike to discover a beautiful Symi sunrise. During breakfast, we explored a Lithuanian specialty: Cucumbers with honey (tested and…
