One of the most exciting and anxiety inducing moments is seeing our 17,000 pound sailboat hovering above the ground making its way to the water! being dropped from a few feet off the ground could do more damage than being out in a storm at sea! It's always a feeling of relief when the keel touches the water, and our adventure home is floating again! Check out this weeks Episode where we Splash Seawind and learn if our projects have paid off! #sailing #gopro #timelapse #florida #sonyalpha
You might be wondering: why mention the airport? What’s so special about it? Well, here’s why. Skiathos, a Greec island at the Sporades islands in the North-West of the Aegan sea, is a relatively small island, yet it has an international airport. And that is exactly what makes it so spectacular. The runway is short and squeezed in between the sea and the built-up area. As a result, aircraft have to approach extremely low. From the water – especially when you’re in the harbour – you see the plane coming straight at you. It flies low over the harbour, sometimes so low that you think it might clip your mast, and then immediately hits the brakes as soon as it touches down on the runway. The first time we experienced this, it really startled us. You hear the sound, look up… and suddenly there’s an aircraft right above you. You rarely see planes flying this low. First there’s a moment of shock, then laughter, and after that you find yourself watching every single landing again 😉. For plane spotters, Skiathos has by now become world-famous. People stand along the road or on the beach to take photos and videos of the landings. We made a video too.
