Jet Ski Smuggler Chased by Coastguard, Extreme Gusts, Pirate Islands & Sailing the Greek Islands #50

We sail from Turkey and arrive in the Greek islands, witness a high speed chase on the sea (possibly a people smuggling operation?) and try to check into Greece. Our journey continues across the Dodecanese and the Cyclades but we don't make it all the way across and instead the wind blows us South to the Island of Astypelea. This Island is beautiful, remote and peaceful. We climb up to the Chora and discover the rich history of invasion and piracy entwined in the winding passageways and houses clinging to the mountainside. We continue our sail West towards the Island of Folegrandos where we struggle to anchor due to the extreme gusts coming from the North side of the Island and making the Southern anchorage untenable. Finally we manage to moor up in a small bay on the end of a fishermans quay. We are a family with 3 children and make our own electricity and water, homeschool the kids and do our own boat maintenance. Our dream of cruising and exploring the world's oceans is matched with a desire to live a more off-grid and sustainable lifestyle. A background as RYA instructors, flotilla skippers and RNLI crew only partly prepared us for the challenges of this live-aboard lifestyle!
