I looked at Turkey a short mile or two across the Straight of Samos from our yacht anchored in the bay of Pathagoris on the Greek Island of Samos. Green, lush, mountainous and mysterious, she called to me.
Our guests arrive. Rejoining us are some sailors who sailed in Greece this past September. I told them tales of the famed Christmas winds in the Grenadines and of the Mustique Blues Fest, we are looking forward to a fun week of great wind, music and sailing!
The three of us take a taxi to Alimos Marina and waited at the Skipper’s Bar for everyone. Valerie is the first to meet us and she brings us up to date with what is happening in her busy life. She has had several charters back to back and is ready for a break.
