Captain Kosta and first mate Theodore could not have been more accommodating! Not everyone on our cruise were experienced sailors like myself. If you have never sailed, no worries! They helped get everyone aboard comfortably and then served pastries and coffee. Kosta got the boat out of the slip with ease. As we moved through the harbor, he explained in detail where we were going and how long it would take to get there. Additionally he talked about the history of Crete which I particularly enjoyed. As someone who has been sailing for over 40 years, I can say Kosta is a very capable captain and BONUS…he’s a comedian! Loaded with quick lines, he had us all laughing as we sailed along. He and Theodore were always asking if we wanted a drink…water, soda, wine and beer were plentiful. Once we reached the island of Dia, our swimming destination they skillfully set anchor. They distributed snorkeling equipment, floaty noodles, set up the paddle board and helped those who wanted to get in the water. Then Kosta and Theodore got busy in the galley. They treated us to an excellent home cooked meal! Shrimp linguini, mushroom risotto, Greek and regular salad. They even made a dish for their vegan guest. Our desert was fresh sliced fruits. 6 hours had passed before we tied off back at the harbor. We all had the kind of day that made us all feel it ended too soon! I’ve sailed the Bahamas, St. Maarten, San Diego Bay, Marina Del Ray and back home all around The Lake Erie Islands to Canada and back. This was one of my most memorable sailing experiences!
