WELCOME

Its time to spend more time on the water

It time to turn all that reading, dreaming and planning into action so its time to spend far more time sailing and exploring this beautiful planet of ours.

This site will be used to share experiences, learn from others and hopefully help us meet old and make new friends.

WHERE IS PLANIT-EARTH NOW

The boat is in Leros Marina
Lakki 854 00, Greece

After six months of sailing around Greece in 2023, and early summer sailing to the Sporades in 2024 the boat is back in Lakki Leros since early July. We return early September to continue the adventures.
