I woke up right when we started leaving the town key. I ate a hot croissant and read for a little bit. Not much happened, I just read and did stuff like that. Suddenly, while writing this blog, I heard Dad yell “WHALES!” I rushed upstairs and saw small dorsal fins attached to some 20-foot-long […]
We woke up and Dad gave us chocolate croissants. I naturally woke up way before Gherty and Che, so I had lots of time to read and chill. Once everyone was up and had eaten breakfast, we went clothes shopping. Dad had promised me a Champion® hoodie, so we went to a store that said […]
South of Corfu lie two true gems of the Ionian, Paxos and her baby sister Andipaxos. After 2 days swinging safely in a mild gale on the northwest corner of Corfu we were “free” to explore these islands we’ve read about. Lakka, Paxos is astounding.

When we first anchored at Kotor, Montenegro, we had no idea just HOW MUCH these people worshipped the stray cats in their streets, and just cats in general. At every shirt and trinket shop there were tons of things with cats all over them. But of course, Mom immediately thought, “Let’s go for an uphill […]
Leaving Croatia was hard. Emotionally, and then, actually. Customs and immigration was right across the harbor in Dubrovnik. We had stayed over fifteen days in Croatia so the kids would not be subjected to another Covid test prior to entry into Montenegro. Documentation in hand, kunas depleted, Justin arrived and the rest of us waited […]
