Leros

An adventure is over. A new one is about to begin.

After several years of wonderful sailing through Greece, we are on our way to Turkey.
The good ship, Ronja, has been launched into the water after six months of winter hibernation on the Greek island of Leros. We’ve been toiling for a few days to clean Ronja after a winter’s “red rain” – sand from the Sahara that blows across the Mediterranean, leaving a greasy layer of dust and sand over car, buildings and boats.

Safety equipment – powder extinguishers and emergency rockets – has been renewed, and we have received the necessary stamps and signatures that we can leave Greece to sail to Turkey.

We’re ready. For new adventures.
