Embarking on our journey to the Samaria Gorge, we set off in our rental car, eager to explore one of Europe's most renowned natural wonders. The Samaria Gorge is a canyon located in the middle of the White Mountains Forest Preserve. And the White Mountains massif (known as Lefka Ori in Greek) truly lived up to its name. Due to heavy rainfall the previous night, the mountain peaks were beautifully covered in snow. Snow on Crete? Yes indeed! The highest peak of the White Mountains stands at 2,453 meters, with more than 50 summits exceeding 2,000 meters. As we drove towards the Samaria Gorge, sometimes weaving between goats, we enjoyed the stunning views of the snow-capped mountains.

In this video, the Global Surveyor encounters an Inuit boat near Ikateq, Greenland, close to the abandoned US Army Air Force base known as 'Bluie East Two'. This base operated from 1942 to 1947 before being abandoned. Everything was left behind, including rusted fuel drums, military vehicles, and collapsed buildings. #sailboat #adventureawaits #bucketlistdestination #greenland #abandonedplaces

I`m hungry and I cannot get back on my boat! The Tidal variation is only two meters, but I leave enough slack in the lines to accommodate fluctuations. Which is fine, except when the winds pick up when I go shopping for supper. It is also high tide, so the mooring lines are slackest. Not complaining, though. I consider it twenty minutes well spent from an exercise point of view. It helped work up an appetite.
