last week on Kauai we were hit by a boat

and a severe storm packing 60-knot winds

we left Ithaca in search of another

beautiful Island second thoughts where

we visit the iconic shipwreck beach this

place is spectacular and even better

than we had anticipated the huge white

cliffs and bright blue water make the

perfect backdrop for us to swim play and

explore and as darkness falls we are

fortunate to have the place to ourselves

this week we set sail south for the

Peloponnese where we visit Olympia the

birthplace of the Olympic Games where

Trace considers a new career in

sprinting as we venture further south

and with the sailing season coming to an

end we find ourselves a little more

isolated this unique area is full of

history forts mythical caves and

pristine beaches

I came this morning by gunshots and some

hunters in the hills I believe and then

after that we had an earthquake which at

time we were downstairs and we just felt

the boat kinda vibrate or shudder and we

looked at each other where I was at an

earthquake and then we googled it and it

was about six kilometers over that way

from us down

[Music]

[Applause]

oh very exciting that's gonna be a

little bit more a while yeah we thought

it

the first leg of the journey is a short

25 nautical miles and would take us from

zakynthos to the Anchorage of cata :

a bit more of a role now it's a bit of a

downer but um yeah I still love the

Olympics and I'm looking forward to

going where the original site well it's

um pretty cool the train from cata Cola

to Olympia ran more frequently when the

cruise ships were in town we caught the

first train at 8:40 a.m. and it cost 10

euros each for a return ticket the trip

took around 45 minutes travelling

through peer costs and the countryside

I don't think you get really sick of

sunsets like that new places huge rocks

there's a fisherman just over there and

I was wondering if he just sees it every

day now and it's just like antenna for

30 years

don't really care about how to imagine

special for us anyway or remember that

little beach bars or we might be down to

the beach and making a little fire and

cooking up the fish that we caught

yesterday and a couple spuds we don't

have much left we anchored at the

northern end of Navarino Bay which gave

us great access to the fort of Navarino

and the iconic Boyd Akoya Beach perfect

as we're pretty keen to stretch our legs

and check them both out

has the wall clean so far pretty easy

that's a pretty good track really wasn't

expecting that sir I did tell you that

I'd read that you need to wear long

pants well I did say that I was going to

risk my life not wearing long pants and

you chose to say don't come whinging to

me anyway maybe we'll find some rugged

Bush land on the way back down as we go

on the other way around

I'd say both it's really on a nice day

they went oh what a ripper damn there's

a there's a ship see if we can get

inside this bad boy this looks pretty

safe let's watch how fast you move under

that survived it is there a roof above

you

seen better days assuming this veena

give an earthquake here she's toppled

down the fortress was built by the

Franks in the 13th century it was fought

over and passed between the Venetians

and Ottomans for many years due to its

strategic location with this Beach

located nearby surely fighting would

have stopped over lunch for a quick dip

yikes

coupla steep drop-offs risque risque

down there come across a large cave when

we return to the boat we discovered this

was the mythical cave of Nesta according

to myth immense one of the more

mysterious Greek gods hid the fifty

cattle he stole from Apollo in this cave

that's a cute flower you've got there

you still have it I picked the flower

and couldn't quite get to you to give it

to you and you glanced and saw it and

then you've here

[Laughter]

well we can see quite clearly nature

sandy very sad go tobogganing we've got

to walk back through the wilderness over

there yep

like rounder coif

[Music]

boxes are defeating purpose always

leading our boys questions to the

ceiling like an ants are gonna come

through this too revealing life is

easier concealing our emotions to the

star on your heart going babe it's been

like at least six months since you got a

new pair of sunnies and what happened to

your latest pair we were taken in the

sunset and you were just getting too

excited about the sunset and sat down

and so we're cruising past pause in the

Bay of Navarino and it is exactly today

20th of October 192 years ago that was a

huge battle in this Bay it was really

monumental for Greece there were

Ottomans and Egyptians in this very

waiting to attack during the battle

Greece pretty much won their

independence

the Russians French British all came to

their aid they heard about situation and

they all came and due to their superior

firepower over came in at the Ottomans

they had less boats but better firepower

and they overcame the Ottomans and the

Egyptians and Greece came out on top and

it was all done via sailing boats next

week on Kauai we continued our voyage

around the southern Peloponnese stopping

in at muthoni and Kalamata famous for

its fat black herbs we also find a mix

of

Anchorage's some that are challenging

and some that are stunning thanks for
