Don't miss SYROS & SERIPHOS, Sailing the Beautiful Cyclades @sailingadventureswithgrandad Ep16

Syros & Seriphos Solo Sailing the Cyclades Ch 2 Ep 16 The exploration of charming and Syros and awe inspiring Seriphos. While inspired by the wind, the sea, and the challenges of sailing solo Im beginning to feel the loneliness that comes with it. This is one challenge I hadn't expected. Perhaps a little bit attenuated by this sharing with my viewers. This planning of this adventure started late in 2021,after our long Covid battle, desperate to sease life again I departed Palma with my son Peter, grandson Ixmael, and friend Javi. We left Palma de Mallorca, went to Palermo, Sicily. Then they went home and I continues along the North Coast of Sicily around the Aeolians (Lipari Islands) joined by my daughter Alex and her friends. Then they left and I did my first one week solo thru the Straight of Messina and down the East Coast of Sicily. Then again joined by my friend Javi we crossed the Ionian and headed through the Corinth Canal, out into the Aegean. We continued down the coast of the Pennepolese to Porto Heli where Vayu my sailing yacht wintered. This second sailing season has me fighting inertia in Ep 14 and finally deciding to go solo for an exploration of the Cyclades. The challenge of weeks solo sailing in unknown seas is intimidating. But I decide to go anyway and take my first step to Kythnos with unexpected pleasure, challenge and adventure along the way. My journey continues and Im finding my confidence as I explore Syros and Seriphoss in this chapter. Authentic, real, less touristic could be my synonym for quiet. SAILING ADVENTURES WITH GRANDAD are my amateur creations of my travels and experiences on Vayu my 44 ft X-yacht Vayu. The people I travel with, the places we go, the times we have and my reflections on living this challenge that come with this challenge Ive created for my life.. I am Michael, a lifetime sailor, practicing yogi, father of 4, grandad of 5, amateur chef, and thankful man. I live between Palma de Mallorca, on Vayu my sailboat and in Los Cabos Mexico. I share my life now with my beautiful partner Isabel who joins me sailing when she can and when the weather is guaranteed to be nice. This channel was launched at the beginning of the Ukrainian invasion. I make monthly contributions to Save the Children-Ukraine, in the hope that my small bit added to millions of other small bits can in a small way help ease the suffering caused by this horrific war. Sailing like life? it's all in the journey! Cheers!
