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.

“It has been really positive to see the responsible attitude of Clubs and Centres in planning for our return to Sailing as it helps us build our case with various government stakeholders to continue as a low-risk sport. It is important that compliance with current Covid 19 restrictions remains at the forefront of our planning. Government guidelines for Phase 1 are very clear." It is now possible to participate in a range of sporting activities in groups of no more than 4 people within 5 kilometers of the households of those involved. "I would urge everyone to respect this so that we may transition towards phase 2 and beyond over the next few weeks in anticipation of further restrictions being lifted. Thank you for your cooperation." #sailsmart
