They put up the sails which was great and sailed awhile. They then cooked us a delicious dinner. One of the best meals I’ve had in Athens!! Then we sailed back and enjoyed the sunset.

I ended up upgrading my ticket which was awesome since I enjoyed more beer! The group was just the right size, not too massive but also not too few -- met some cool folks.
