Day 2 in the Vanitsa Boat

Woke up this morning feeling so at peace, I'm in Greece, on a yacht and I have no cares in the world! Ahhhh, it's such a nice feeling, I like to relish on it when it ever comes about!

Started sailing about 11ish this morning and am loving it! you can't understand until you're doing it, how wonderful it is. Soaking in the sun to the gentle rock of the waves on the boat. The view is spectacular, I sat on the back and put my legs in the water as we were motoring on (no sailing due to lack of wind and experience), it was so refreshing. We even had the music blaring at one point, no one could hear us , we were in the middle of the sea, so far away from land and people. I was actually allowed to steer the boat at one point, taking charge of the wheel, and we didn't die - BONUS!


 At one point we did manage to get the sail out and were actually going along without any engine power at all, of course this beautiful moment was ruined by my father who decided to do a full 360 with the wheel. My mother was thrown around the cabin downstairs and my brother almost went over the side!

We soon arrived in Ay Euphemia and parked up (interesting experience) and met up with the other for a few V&T's and a dip in the sea, swimming around our boat and trying to avoid being hit by other boats parking up!

Had a lovely group dinner with the whole flotilla, and then it was karaoke night. I had to skip on it though as I am exhausted now and need to get some beauty sleep.

So again another joyous day, and favourite foods so far: oregano crisps and tzatziki, YUM!
