Feeling extra grateful 💙
For being alive, for good friends, and for this unforgettable Greece trip.

Meteora left me speechless — a place so stunning it feels otherworldly. Its monasteries have stood for over a thousand years through chaos and change… a powerful reminder of strength and peace that endure.

Even with all the heaviness back home in America, I’m holding on to that light — and to the beauty that still exists in the world. 🌍☀️⛵️

After a week of sailing through Greek Islands, I found myself in Meteora — and wow. A place I've always wanted to go.
Have you ever been somewhere so awe-inspiring that words just simply escape.
The silence, the cliffs, the monasteries in the sky. ❤️ 💫⛵️🇬🇷

Was doing a lesson this morning in Stamford, and I realized that this was the boat that collided on the breakwall over the weekend. Four passengers hurt, thankfully no one died. Too many boating accidents. 🙏🏼 #staysafeoutthere

What do you think? Greek yogurt, greek cherries greek pistachios from Aegina. It was delicious! Some of you know, I was a hostess this week! 😄 skipper Babis made farewell lunch, local sea bass, water olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper, lemons, that's it! I made boiled potatoes with greek seasoning and olive oil, local veggie salad with pistachio dressing. #greekfood #greekislands #LetsEatTogether Yachtsailing.gr Joyride Charters - Sailing Everywhere
