Corti Creare
Foram 10 meses só na âncora… e a gente já esperava o pior, claro! 🤣 Mas quando o Utopia saiu da água, ficamos surpresos, o resultado da nossa primeira pintura e instalação do nosso saildrive ficou muito boa! 🙌🏼 Mas de qualquer forma, ainda sim, temos muito a fazer! Começa agora a missão: pintura de fundo, limpeza geral, upgrades no sistema de ancoragem, instalação dos painéis solares e claro aquela boa surpresa que nunca fica de fora. Qual será a da vez? 🤌🏼 Kkkkkk Diz aí o que não podemos esquecer de fazer nessa manutenção? ⛵️🛠️🧡
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.
