We spend another day in Athens so you don't have to, Sailing SV GOAT Episode 66

In Episode 66 of the Sailing Goat Series, we spend another day soaking in Athens, and we have to admit—it’s really growing on us. From ancient monuments to modern rooftops, this city has a unique vibe that’s hard not to love. We kick off the day by visiting the Greek Parliament just in time to witness the changing of the guard, a ceremony filled with tradition and precision. After that, it’s back to boat business—replacing the solar panels we lost in Trizonia. Thankfully, we finally found suitable replacements in the city, and with the help of our awesome neighbor from the sailboat next door, we were able to retrieve and install them. This time, we didn’t mess around—we used a ridiculous number of bolts to make sure these panels aren’t going anywhere, no matter how hard the Aegean blows! With the job done, we treated ourselves to some museum visits, soaked in the local culture, and topped it all off with a delicious rooftop sushi dinner overlooking Athens. ⚡ Solar Panels Reinstalled (for Good This Time): After losing our panels to a brutal gust in Trizonia, we finally replace them—and over-engineer the install to ensure they’ll never fly away again. 🇬🇷 Changing of the Guard: We catch the ceremonial event in front of the Greek Parliament, a proud and precise display of national tradition. 🖼️ Museums & Culture: Athens continues to impress with its mix of ancient history and modern energy.
