CYCLADES, Greece—When I came into an unexpected windfall this year, I asked my girlfriend where I could take her on vacation—our first real trip together. Her criteria: to be on the water but not on a resort where presumably we would be sipping daiquiris from a feed bag. This was how we ended up on an eight-day sailing voyage in the Cycladic island chain in Greece. Our journey was hosted by Intrepid, an Australian company that specializes in culturally sensitive trips that
combine the comfort level that comes with an established tour company with a more basic approach to foreign travel that includes taking public transit and carrying your own luggage. On our Intrepid trip, we stayed on the Edgar, an unfortunately named Benetau Oceanus 50.5 that includes four cabins with four bathrooms that would have cost half a million dollars to own. But we also helped prepare simple lunches in the galley and perform basic sailing tasks for our guide and skipper, Dean, a 28year-old Englishman whose long blond hair and broad
shoulders give him a passing resemblance to a young Fabio. I was in charge of dropping and raising the anchor; my girlfriend would stand between me and Dean and yell his instructions. The anchor would come crashing up to the bow. “Didn’t hear us say stop?” she asked. In Greece, the temperature averages around 30 Celsius in the summer but the heat is largely offset by the Mediterranean breeze. The water is as blue as the Greek flag with occasional dolphins and sea turtles appearing in brief flashes. Continued on next page
