ALC 2018 Day 5 (Red Dress Day) Rest Stop 1. My team (ALCaholics) chose an "Under the Big Top" circus theme, so I dressed as a bearded lady. The Iron Taints team dressed as Handmaids.

Vorwind auf der Alster mit gut 25 Drachen auf die Leetonne zu. Das kann nicht gut gehen. Hauptsache Innenposition!

No matter what we do the sail never fits back in the bag the way it arrives from being washed and serviced! #sailing #sailbag #sailorsfustrations

A major snow storm has hit the Pacific Northwest today. I woke up on the boat to this sight…and it is wonderful. The boat is warm and dry. The coffee is hot. 🧣❄️

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.
