Ermioni, and sailing our catamaran for the very first time! (Sailing Dakini - Leave to Roam Ep 2.)
We leave Porto Cheli, Greece and shortly after, hoist our sails for the very first time on our, new to us, Lagoon 421 Dakini. The conditions were pretty benign, perfect to learn some new skills. We sail around Spetses Isand, and then anchor in only 3metres of water in Osmos Kapari, south of Ermioni.
While in Ermioni we take the dinghy in to have a look around, we practise med-mooring to the town quay and find ourselves back at sea briefly to make some more water. We then anchor in Ermioni Harbour itself allowing us to provision at the local farmer's market before sailing once again.
Leave to Roam
We are Kel and Al, a couple from New Zealand and Australia who have always had a passion for travel. In January 2018 we left our full time jobs and started to travel the world. We spent two years travelling on a budget through South East Asia documenting our adventures as we went before we found a new dream, to buy a boat! Fours years of hard work scrimping and saving led us to our dream. We introduce you to our home Dakini. She is a 2010 Lagoon 421 and we love her. Purchased in Greece we started our adventure cruising the greek islands. Two years later we have sailed all over Greece, Italy, Turkey and Malta with a winter in Tunisia. Our plan for 2026 is to explore Albania, Italy, Malta, France and Spain before the biggest adventure of our lives, crossing the Atlantic around New Years. Exciting times ahead.
