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's March 1st! I am still at the Marina but now as a visitor. It looks like my departure will be on the 4th of March. I am waiting on the Life Raft on Board. Wahine now has a permit to sail offshore for 30 days and the permit starts on March 6th and ends on April 4th. The general plan is to head down to Hota or Misaki for 1-2 days to finish provisioning and checking systems and then head towards Okinawa. But the goal is not Okinawa itself, the aim is to check all the equipment and test me in certain scenarios offshore. And then back to Tokyo Bay in April to go through the process of deregistering Wahine as Japan Vessel and registering her under a Canadian Flag. That will take a few weeks so should be ready to depart in the prescribed month of June. In the meantime, I will try to post what I can and you can follow along to see where Wahine and I are. Just click the link below. Also, I am pleased to have Will who will help the channel going when I am at sea for season 3. . I will try to do a short video update of something each week and Will`s focus will be on a fuller fuller episode once a month. SO here is the trailer Will put together. https://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/Wahine www.pacificsolo.com sailing solo pacific how to sail solo
