From the Saronic Sea to the Cyclades ⛵️🇬🇷✨

We started this trip thinking we’d stay in the Saronic Sea… until the wind had other plans. With barely any wind, we decided to take a leap of faith and set course for the Cyclades and I’m so glad we did.

Thankfully, we were in the best possible hands with our incredible skipper @ahuijbers and her husband @nileshkhaitan . Their skill and passion for sailing turned this into a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. 🤍

There were moments that pushed me far outside my comfort zone, moments of pure freedom, and so many little moments I’ll carry with me forever. Star-filled nights and shooting stars. Magical sunrises. A different kind of breathtaking sunset every evening. And the feeling of waking up somewhere new, surrounded by nothing but sea and sky.

Most of all, it was the people that made it unforgettable. We became such a great team, shared so many laughs and adventures, and created memories that will stay with me for a lifetime.

Thank you, Anouk & Nilesh, for sharing your love of sailing and this incredible journey with us. I’ll never forget it. 🌊💙

Here’s to the next sailing adventure… ⛵️
