We pick up a group of 6 friends on Mykonos who plan to sail with us to Athens. These are friends of my kids who have dreamed of a Greek island sailing adventure. Their special talent is making the most fun they possibly can as often as they can. I feel like we are chartering 4 kindred spirits who are their own version of “Sex in the City” women that have a bond with each other that is deep and commited with a couple of husbands tagging along. Fortunately the winds have calmed down and the aggressive Etesian winds have dissipated. We have a week of smooth sailing and calm waters. Before we leave Mykonos, the gang does some exploring and visits the sacred nearby island of Delos. The next day we head for Syros. There is nothing like unfurling the majestic white sails as they grab the wind. You feel the power in nature take over as we shut off the engines. Blue skies and even bluer seas set the scene for a perfect course to the next island. And if that setting was not enough perfection we are rewarded with a brief visit from a playful dolphin that seems intent on making sure the gangs first visit to Greece is as magical as they envisioned it to be.
