Getting Captain Christos, a Greek wooden boat, in the Aegean Sea

In this mini-documentary, we capture a unique encounter on the island of the Greek island Skopelos. Thomas was launching his classic wooden fishing boat into the water. These traditional boats, known as "kaikia" or "trechantiria," are now rare in modern Greece and are an important part of the country's maritime heritage.
These boats, often hand-built using ancient techniques, are robust and heavy, making the launching process a challenging and labor-intensive task. The sense of community and teamwork required for this task reflects the culture and traditions of the Greek islands.
Join us in this unique experience and discover the craftsmanship and history of these remarkable boats. This documentary takes you back to a time when the sea and wooden boats were central to the lives of the islanders.
