39. Sailing out of Greece, heading to Palermo, Sicily

This week we again attempt to sail away from Greece, but the weather has other plans. Fortunately we get a little help from and old friend as we head towards Palermo, Sicily.
We only have a couple more days left before departing Greece and starting our journey toward Italy, Spain then to the Caribbean. Please give us a thumbs up and subscribe to our channel if you like the content!

Great to see you are on the go. Who would have imagined this first leg would be so long. I hope you have now overcome the most difficult challenges of your trip to the Caribbean.

[@sailingblackbird922]

That leg definitely felt long! Just waiting out some weather that’s making our leg towards the mainland difficult.

Hey, thumbs up to your guest editor! Poseidon … hysterical 😂. My stomach turned for you having to turn back on try number 3! Amazing you have been there for 18 months with no intention of being there so long! How Fortunate you are to have Luca, Marta, and Alessandro along on the journey! Wishing you great sails and many more dolphins and whales!

[@sailingblackbird922]

It’s been a wild ride so far! Poseidon may show up again if we need him.

So beautiful. Thanks for sharing your journey. It is very inspiring.

[@sailingblackbird922]

Thanks Kit! This is a very beautiful area.

Man o man you guys are on quite the adventure with that intense weather. It's like Greece didn't want you to leave!

[@sailingblackbird922]

That is exactly what we were thinking!

[@georgemoore7196]

The long journey begins! :-)

[@sailingblackbird922]

Hello again George! Yes, it begins, and thanks for sticking with us! Cheers!

How did you meet Marta and Luca (can’t remember if those are the names ?)

[@sailingblackbird922]

Hello Lisa! Through common friends, we met Marta and Luca after arriving in Greece in the fall of 2020. They were recommended to us to move our boat to a shipyard, which they did. After they moved our boat we became friends with them and we spent most of 2021 COVID lockdown with them. They are super great people!
