Tomorrow we leave the last island for a while, heading to the mainland of Greece, just around the corner from Athens. Right now we're on the island of Evvia, after a one night stop on the island of Kea. Kea was great, it's a very small island, and we had a picnic on the beach all alone, and we were the only boat in the bay. Levi, Emma, Lily and I slept on the beach, with the girls in hammocks and Levi and I on the sand. It was a long night, but loads of fun and memories, nothing a nap the next day couldn't fix!
We are taking Maggie and Levi to the airport on Wednesday for a month long visit/wedding in the good 'ol USA. It's been over 2 years since they've been back and I'm sure they'll have a bit of culture shock once they're back and in a place where everyone speaks English and they can read all the signs.
Meanwhile, Rachel and I are planning to sail through the Corinthian canal, and up the Ionian Islands of Greece and cross over to Italy, then across the 'boot' to pick them up again in Sicily. Big goals! especially without our most helpful crew!
We are hoping things go smoothly and Rachel and I are a bit nervous about pulling into docks and anchorages by ourselves. I'm sure it'll be smooth and we're worrying for nothing.......we will certainly miss Maggie and Levi. It's going to be quieter on the boat and I already miss Levi's guitar playing and hanging out with both of them watching movies at night. When you're together 24/7 even a few hours seems strange to be apart, this will certainly be a strange month :(
Keep them in your prayers and us as well, we'll post some pics from Athens and the Parthenon. We're hoping to make a visit there on Monday.
Love you all
