The plan

—

Our journey was a bit different this time: we would arrive by plane and our equipment had to fit the flight suitcases (and the kayak dry compartments!!)

Kayaks, paddles, PFDs and spray skirts were furnished by ODYSEA, our Greek supplier. Our Greek team member, Fanis, was invaluable in transporting everything in “Tarzan” his little red jeep.

Besides plans, maps and travel guides, various other information sources were helpful, such as Thierry P, Raphael G with Cyclades Kayak or LucFlo with mytrip.

A few problems arose. The Covid health certificates, both in France and Greece, had to be provided in accordance with Civil Aviation rules.

Furthermore, in the last week, the mighty meltem wind rapidly picked up, causing extra worries. But we kept on, no matter what!!!
