Expecting snow & frost this weekend. Hiking in fli Expecting snow & frost this weekend. Hiking in flip flops is about to turn into an extreme sport! 😜 I do wish this lockdown would end, so I could get myself a pair of sneakers at least!

The year 2020 will forever be remembered as a time The year 2020 will forever be remembered as a time of lockdowns and gruesome boat projects! 
When we sold our big house in the country after a decade of renovation, I guess we expected our sailing life to be more sunshine & rainbows & incredible sunsets... And it has, but there sure has been a lot of work! Well, it's all about finding balance, and the beautiful summer of exploring the Ionian islands more than made up for the months of toil!
🎇
Happy New Year to all our friends and fellow cruisers in all the corners of the world! May your 2021 be full of adventure and happiness!

Well look who I met on my walk in the woods today! Well look who I met on my walk in the woods today! Tiny little lizard, not much longer than my forefinger but a lot skinnier. And look at that tiny little leg, isn't it adorable! This is a copper skink, I just learned, also known as juniper skink or snake eyed skink, and it's supposed to be common in Greece. First time for me!

We love the challenge of creating traditional Finn We love the challenge of creating traditional Finnish and Scandinavian dishes with the ingredients sourced locally wherever we travel. Often you have to improvise, but tonight our skagenrøra and skärgårdslimpa tasted perfectly authentic, despite being made of "close enough" Greek things. It might have something to do with everything being so tasty and fresh here, as the weather around Christmas is a little different than where we come from...
Merry Christmas from Greece! Sun & snow, sea & mou Merry Christmas from Greece! Sun & snow, sea & mountains - what could be better!
