As Hispanic Heritage Month wraps up, we want to celebrate and honor the Latino community and their commitment to the boating lifestyle. 🛥️ We had the pleasure of spending time with Float On Charters in Austin, TX, where we celebrated family, community, and commitment to the lifestyle we all love at our Boating La Familia event. ⚓ 🌊

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.

This is a special short video for a blog post I wrote about how to build your own mast steps. I just love mine 'cause I can mount the mast easily even whilst Karl is sailing (if seas are not too rough, have not tried in two meters waves yet ;))!
