We finally launch Wishful Thinking in Leros, Greece, ready for our second sailing season. We're nervous about our launch as we've done lots of work below the waterline and found a leak after launching last year. Our friends (along with their cat, Chicho) invite us over for a boat tour of their traditional-style gaff rigged ketch, with strong pirate vibes! We then set sail across the Cyclades islands, stopping at Astipalea, Schinousa, Paros, Antiparos / Despotiko and Sifnos. The weather is cold and stormy at times, but the sailing conditions are excellent. We have beautiful anchorages all to ourselves because we are sailing out of season in early March, after winter has just ended.
