We are back for Season 5 of the Reeva Project. We have been in India for our annual break, attending to family and other requirements. While we were there we tried to get our defective hard drive sorted, got Kay to a new school, met family and friends and were fortunate to be hosted by Commander Victor Mic on his podcast. A candid heart to heart conversation, this was our first opportunity to speak about our journey and it's ups and downs. Please watch it from start to the end as we discuss how this dream was born, how are we able to make it work and everything else in between. https://youtu.be/fd_45wW4K0Q This season we take you exploring farther away from our comfort zone exploring new adventures. But before that we need to get the boat ready...... Subscribe and stay tuned for more.
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.
