The weather over this past weekend was a perfect excuse to escape the marina and boat projects. We left Friday afternoon, after speaking at a local elementary school (sharing what life is like aboard our boat and a little of our California school's STEM and ROV programs).
We pointed our nose towards Aegina, an island about a 2 hour sail away. We were right away in the high traffic zone of the Piraeus Port, but it was smooth sailing all the way across. We anchored in a bay on the southern end of Aegina and settled in for a calm and peaceful night.

The next morning, we pulled anchor
and headed to the island of Poros, about 3 hours away. Once we arrived, we found a nice spot to moor up to the quay lined with tavernas. Once RoundAbout was tucked in for the evening, the crew set about to explore ashore.

After a lovely weekend, we had to sail back to Piraeus for some final boat projects: installing our electric winch, water outlet at the front of the boat (so we can rinse the anchor and wash down the deck), and some other small items. We will then be finished (for now) and be able to set sail for Crete later on this week!
