Sunrise to sunset what a memorable day. We left Loutra, Kythnos, Greece in the am to a stunning sunset and glassed off waters. We had plenty of great sailing at 7 knots with both sails out and an average of 25 knots of wind to help us cross to the mainland and drop anchor in Varis Bay off Varkiza Beach, Greece. We had a quick dip in the sea at sunset to cool off before bed. We will miss our many friends in the Cyclades and Dodacanese but we are excited to be out of the main Meltemi path. Corinth Canal here we come ????

? Conceived in 2013 to ease the pressure on the traditional ARC, which has been taking sailors across the Atlantic from East to West since 1986, the ARC+ has become increasingly popular thanks to its stopover in Mindelo, Cape Verde. According to Paul Tetlow, General Manager of the Atlantic Rally for Cruisers, the Mindelo stopover has many advantages - especially for family crews. The route, although longer overall, is in fact two legs shorter (11 to 16 days for Mindelo - St. Georges) than the ARC's "direct" transatlantic passage and features a generally more clement southerly route. The stopover also serves to strengthen the bonds between the crews. Arriving in Grenada, in the far south of the West Indies, means there are no questions about the Caribbean program: you're heading north until May, and that's that! This year, no fewer than 91 yachts ranging in size from 36 to 72 feet (11 to 22 m) docked at Grenada's luxurious Port Louis marina. Among them were no fewer than 27 catamarans - a ratio that is steadily increasing in favor of multihulls. On the dock, 434 sailors of 26 different nationalities shared their ocean experience. 37 children took part in the adventure: among them, Lauren, Rebecca and Michela, aboard the Dutch Excess 11 AtC, looked after Archie, the ARC+'s teddy bear mascot... The ARC+, deliberately oriented towards cruising, has no racing division, whereas the ARC does, but only for monohulls. All multihulls are therefore authorized to use their engines, but they are required to declare the times they use them, and an hourly penalty is logically assigned. It can be strategically useful for getting out of an area of calms more quickly and optimize passage time. As a consequence of this "motor-driven" regatta, it's the compensated time that motivates the crews and interests us. Note that 10% of the fleet did not use their engines at all. ?
