This week on sailing Kawai, we make an early start in an effort to get to the Diros Caves. We manage to get there right on opening and find an easy place to anchor in a large bay with a lot of sand and close to the entrance of the caves. It is a simple 2 minute tender trip to the shore before our mind is blown with this natural wonder. We take a boat ride through the underground caves, which is eerie but magical. If you visit the southern Peloponnese this is a must see and we'd recommend reading a bit about the history before venturing inside as the guide/boat driver only spoke in Greek.

With 45nm still to sail we quickly get back on board. The landscape changes almost immediately and we can tell we are on the way to the Cyclades with a more barren and rocky outlook. We pass the middle cape of the 3 in Southern Peloponnese, Cape Tainaron, before anchoring in the dark at Elafonisi a popular anchorage for sailors waiting to pass the notorious cape Maleas.

Luckily we timed our transit around the final cape, Cape Maleas well and it is an easy motor sail past it. Trace waves to the monks at the Hermitage and we are fortunate to get some wind early on our way to Milos and we enjoy some good sailing.

Jase catches 2 tuna within 10 minutes of putting out his new lure, unfortunately they are again a little too small and we choose to return them to allow them to make baby tuna.

We witness another magical sunset over the water as the horizon is blurred, day turns to night and we continue onwards to our anchorage in Milos.

We cannot wait to share our next adventure with you when we arrive in Milos and explore some of the most unique and diverse beaches we have ever seen.

About us:

Our names are Jason and Tracey and we traded our house, cars, business, job and security for freedom, adventure, travel and living simply amongst nature and the seas on our 45 foot Hanse 445 sailing boat, Kawai.

We don't know exactly where the winds will take us at this stage but over the next year we hope to sail to Turkey, Greece, Montenegro, Croatia.

Jase loves making travel videos and we decided to upload to youtube to share our adventure. We really hope you enjoy and feel free to drop us a comment any time to chat or subscribe to follow along :)
