Creator's Key Takeaways

it's a lot easier and smoother sailing with a steady wind than it is with gusts of wind because the gusts push the boat to the side

it's kind of scary the wind is so loud and the water moving against the side of the ship is i don't know there's something about it that's very disheartening

what a beautiful traditional old greek island this is with winding streets that you could get lost on small beaches beachside cafes

YouTube Video Description↓

The weather was not friendly as we arrived on the island of Paros, Greece. We sailed our Sun Odyssey 52.2 from Syros and ended up dropping anchor in a bay to avoid strong winds. After a sleepless night on anchor, we took the dinghy onto land and got to explore the fantastic city of Naoussa. #sailing #greece #sailboat Get my NEW BOOK!
