Painful tacking from Crete to Peloppanese penisula Vlog 41

We did the thing sailors are not meant to do - booked plane tickets home on another continent! We have to make it to Tunisia in just a few weeks so bash our way upwind along Cretes northern coast - we do make some delightful stops like the town of Chania with its Venetian harbour and delicious restaurants. We have some wild sailing leaving Crete and arrive in the gorgeous Greek island stopover of Kythera where the locals have created the most amazing swimming grotto out of the natural rocks in the harbour. We are the Robbins family sailing on our boat named Nikau. Our 3 kids are doing NZ correspondence school on board and are growing to love it! What's not to love about 3 hours of school a day and then a different playground for the afternoon every day! We've traveled from New Zealand to Sardinia in Italy to pick up our boat and we plan over a few seasons to sail her back to New Zealand. We hope you enjoy following us on our adventures! We would love to hear from you. Especially if you are interested in doing something crazy like we are! Maybe we can help answer some questions you have? Thanks and enjoy.
