The ruins at Lindos on Rhodes, Greece - in the background.S/Y Aspen – June 3, 2011 – Log #76
Position: 36 degrees 24’ N 028 degrees 15’ E (UTC +3 Hours)
Rhodes, Greece
It only took 3 different airlines, with 8 take offs and landings in 3 different countries to get to a friendly country!
The flights were Salalah to Muscat, Oman. Muscat to Doha, Qatar. Doha, Qatar to Athens. Athens to Rhodes. The airlines we took (Oman Air, Qatar Airlines and Aegean Airlines) were all very nice. They all served food, even the shorter flights. There was even free liquor on the long flight from Doha to Athens!
Waking up to our first view of the Mediterranean, right outside our window, was surreal. It only took us over 3 months to get here.
Right now it is warm and sunny with lots of friendly people everywhere. Even the food is great!
Tomorrow we will take the fast 50 minute ferry to Marmaris, Turkey to wait for our ship to arrive with Aspen onboard. The ship is transiting pirate waters as I type this, escorted by NATO warships. Let's hope they all make it through safely.
Sail on, sail on and sail safe Aspen…
