Heeey, at last we have new windows and some headlines. It didn't take long to make them, just a bit over than 4 months 🤣 Anyway, we like it!
Не прошло и полгода, как наконец-то доделаны новые окна и частично - новая обшивка. Всего какие-то 4 месяца ушло 😁
Зато какая красота!

Well, beginning of this sailing season is obviously f***ed up because of bloody virus, so we have plenty time to do more projects on the boat. Our new windows are coming.
Что ж, начало яхтенного сезона очевидно пошло псу под хвост, так что у нас есть время на ремонтные работы. Ставим новые окошки 🙂

(sarcasm) Yesterday we've got a new acquisition on the boat. The thing is absolutely necessary in every household. Can't even imagine how we lived before without this.
(tired) Don't ask.
Going by comments on Facebook we should change our USP. Fff...orget cruises on the Greek islands. Our tours should be called "fulfill the childhood dream of chasing the piano."
Fortunately, this crap can make sounds that are similar to a rhythm. This removes the issue of buying drums. "Please, at least some little one, please, pleeeeeaaaase...". ⛵🎸🎹🎵
(ядовито) А у нас новое приобретение на лодку. Совершенно необходимая в каждом хозяйстве вещь. Как мы без неё жили, не представляю.
(устало) Не спрашивайте.
Судя по каментам в ФБ, нам надо менять специализацию. Нафиг круизы по греческим островам. Наши туры должны называться "исполни детскую мечту потренькать на пианино".
По счастью, хрень умеет издавать звуки, похожие на ритм. Это снимает вопрос о покупке барабанов. "Ну хоть один, ну пожаааа...".

Dear friends! For the upcoming sailing season, we have ambitious plans - to cruise through the whole Aegean Sea, visit the main Greek islands, visit the Cyclades, the Dodecanese Islands, the charming Northern Sporades, the always busy and most popular islands of the Saronic Gulf and to reach Crete in early autumn. You can join us at any stage. Bustling ports and quiet secluded anchorages, amazing sunrises and sunsets, the beauty of nature and architecture, long sunny days, Greek cuisine and Greek hospitality are waiting for you. Our style is gentle cruising, short day trips (up to 5-6 hours), in which your safety and comfort comes first. At the same time, for experienced crew members, we might suggest more challenging routes! Feel free to PM us, for specific details and to book berths. See you at sea!
P.S. By the way, two more days, until January 15, Aegean Airlines has a special offer - discounts up to 40%!..
Друзья! На предстоящий яхтенный сезон у нас довольно амбициозные планы - совершить круиз через все Эгейское море, побывать на главных греческих островах, посетить Киклады, острова Додеканеса, очаровательные Северные Спорады, всегда оживленные и наиболее популярные острова Саронического залива и ранней осенью дойти до Крита. Вы можете присоединиться к нам на любом этапе. Вас ждут шумные портовые города и укромные тихие якорные стоянки, изумительные рассветы и закаты, красоты природы и архитектуры, долгие солнечные дни, греческая кухня и греческое гостеприимство. Наш стиль - спокойный круизинг, небольшие переходы (до 5-6 часов), в которых на первом месте ваши безопасность и комфорт. В то же время для опытных членов экипажа у нас найдутся маршруты и посложнее! Пишите нам, уточняйте подробности и бронируйте места. Увидимся в море!
П.С. Кстати, еще два дня, до 15 января в компании Эгейские Авиалинии акция - скидки до 40%!

UPD. Actually, as sailors we must be Ok, and as a humans are not bad, but as cameramen and video promoters of us we are pretty crap. Therefore, the subtitles for this silent movie are published here: Happy New year, dear friends, wish you all good. Thanks for understanding 🤣🤣

Dear friends,
We invite you to sail with us around beautiful Greek islands next season. At the moment we are developing new tours and planning to visit:

APRIL – Cyclades

MAY – exploring the Dodecanese Islands

JUNE – back through the Cyclades and up to the Nothern Sporades in the north west of the Aegean

JULY – we'll spend the month in the Northern Sporades and Volos area

AUGUST – down to the Saronic Gulf and playing around

SEPTEMBER - heading down along the Peloponnese coast and if the weather permits, fulfill our old dream – to reach Crete and spend several weeks there.

OCTOBER - We move back north to the Saronic Gulf with the southerly winds.

The routes will have varying degrees of difficulty, including some fairly long trips and some quite "cruisey" ones, suitable for crews with children. More detailed travel descriptions will be posted here as they are developed.

Start planning your vacation now! By acquiring a certificate of membership in the Sailandia club (you can easily do it here: https://sailandia.com/club/) you are guaranteed to reserve your place on the yacht. All you need is just to choose the route and dates suitable for you and buy a plane ticket :)

We look forward to see everyone who wants to join us this year. Experience is not necessary - even if you don’t have any you will quickly get into the swing of life aboard :) Much more important is a positive attitude, team spirit and the ability to cope with challenges. We also believe that part of our audience is people who dream of buying their own yacht for a liveaboard lifestyle. Join us - we are willing to share our experience and life hacks.

Many of you already know our yacht LAYLA. For those that don't, she is a Bavaria 42 Caribic, blue-water yacht with 4 places for guests in 2 cabins, shower, two toilets, well-equipped kitchen and a spacious lounge.
We provide bed linen and towels. The safety equipment of the boat complies with international standards (MCA Code 2): on board there is an emergency raft for 6 people, life jackets, safety harnesses, a first-aid kit.

We are both qualified and experienced skippers who will take your safety seriously and show you the best that sailing around the Greek islands has to offer.

Welcome aboard!
