Travels with S/Y Thetis

This is a very personal account of a few weeks in May and a few weeks in September and October 2009. During this time I sailed my boat, Thetis, in the Aegean. There are three separate trips: Samos to Lavrio, Lavrio to Samos, and A tour of the Dodecanese. These are in addition to sailing Thetis from Leros to Samos and back as well as a number of excursions near Samos.
