After 6.5 months locked down in Oreoi, Greece, I finally set sail again — solo. This episode follows the nerves, the boat prep (rigging, anchor, propeller issues), the tough upwind beating to Skiathos, and the mindset lessons of overcoming challenges at sea. Watch as I shake off the rust and face both gear and personal tests on this first passage back.
Chapters:
00:00–00:30 Introduction & Setup
00:31–02:00 Preparing the Boat & Mental Prep
02:01–04:00 First Miles Under Sail
04:01–06:00 Beating Windward Challenges
06:01–08:00 Tack Failures & Lessons Learned
08:01–10:00 Adjusting & Jibing for Progress
10:01–12:30 Final Miles & Motor Struggles
12:31–15:00 Arriving at Anchorage & Reflections
