The Lassithi Plateau at the island of Crete is a wide, fertile plain over 800 meters above sea level, surrounded by peaks, dotted with villages and fields as far as the eye could see. One of the first things we noticed was a row of stone windmills. There were about 20 in view, but once, there were over 10,000 of them! These windmills used to pump water from the ground for irrigation – a lifeline for agriculture here. The Lassithi Plateau has long been the agricultural heart of eastern Crete, with a unique microclimate and plenty of groundwater. Even today, the 18 villages around the plateau live primarily from farming. We flew our drone to capture this sweeping valley from above – the perfect blend of natural beauty and human ingenuity.

We live on a sailboat with a Black Labrador on the island of Langkawi Malaysia and sometimes he has too much fun. Duty Free Island where beer is cheaper than water. 😊 #seadogs #boatlife #shorts #blacklabrador

First time out in my Bristol 34 Racer/Cruiser Yacht! Check it out! Letting the sails (one of them...) out for a short run.. a test, if you will... I had to go down for one more final check list, before I headed out for good at the end of this month. Once I get out there, I will be uploading new videos, stay tuned for more!
