Sailing the Mediterranean Episode 28: Brindisi and beyond: Re-discovering our roots

A Heartfelt Reunion in Brindisi was a Sailing Detour Worth Every Moment. In this deeply personal episode, we take a break from our typical sailing adventures to visit Brindisi, Italy—where we reconnect with family we haven’t seen in decades. It's a side of our journey we don’t often share, but this reunion was too meaningful not to document. From heartfelt conversations to exploring the beauty of Brindisi with loved ones, this stop reminded us what truly matters. Join us for an intimate, emotional chapter of our Mediterranean voyage. What an honor to see a family member that I have not seen since he was 3 and I was 11. I got to meet his beautiful wife and three lovely girls. They made us feel like Kings and Queens and shared with us their beautiful city and wonderful life. Our channel is all about sailing the Mediterranean. We help anyone who wants to sail the Mediterranean, whether they are brand new at it, aspiring to go, or just arm-chair traveling. We generally post about our adventures with beautiful scenery and helpful hints, but we also post about the challenges too and how we resolve them. Attitude is everything! In this case, we were filled with love and joy and calories and more love. We wish the same for you!
