To safely explore the world by sailboat one needs to be flexible. The world oceans are full of terrifying weather, but if we’re patient, modern weather forecasting allows us to pick the perfect weather window for the vast majority of short passages. So in a lot of ways the most dangerous aspect of sailing is when, for whatever reason, you can’t be flexible. As legendary sailor Lyn Pardey put it, “The most dangerous thing in cruising is a calendar.”
But this week we confront that danger head on as we’ve only got a few days to sail all the way to Porto Heli Marina so we can leave the boat and fly to the united states where we have appointments for specialists can assess Isabella’s medical condition. But we’ve got a problem, between us and our destination lies one of the most treacherous headlands in the entire Mediterranean. Cape Maleas is infamous for it’s rough seas, sudden weather changes, and strong currents. In antiquity the cape was known as “the Cape of Storms” and it was so feared by sailors that they would make offerings to Poseidon in an attempt to secure safe passage around it. So although we’ve got some amazing sights to see along the way, we’ve got to ask Poseidon to forgive us for having a schedule so that we can safely make it to Isabella’s medical appointments, half a world away.
