Ep. 226 ~ Leaving Greece 🇬🇷 isn't quite as simple as sailing away!
Life aboard a sailboat in the Mediterranean looks amazing... but there's another side to living on a boat that doesn't always make it into the travel photos.
In this episode of Sailing Okaliptüs, we're exploring Vonitsa, waiting out strong winds, finishing boat projects and picking up the final pieces of our new canvas enclosures before preparing to leave Greece and head north toward Corfu and Albania.
Between unpredictable weather, never-ending boat maintenance, the stress of repairs and the emotional ups and downs of liveaboard life, we're reminded that sailing isn't always sunshine and beautiful anchorages. Sometimes, it's about learning to navigate the challenges together.
Join us as we wrap up this chapter of our sailing adventures in Greece and get ready for what's next!
