Geschaftslektionen von deutschen Seglern: Keep Your Knots Tight
Between 18 and 25 October I had a fun and exciting sail aboard the Yria, an Oceanis 51.1 yacht, rented through , 1 Poseidonos Avenue, Athens, Greece. My friend , and I joined five German sailors for an adventure from Athens to the Temple of Poseidon, to Loutra/Kithnos, to Ermoupoli/Siros, to Coressia/Kea, back to the southern tip of Greece, and returned to the Six days on the water with 2 days of spectacular winds. Magnificent views abounded, great food, free flowing Ouzo, and a special camaraderie maintained throughout the splashes and wave turbulence. No men overboard except for those that willingly jumped into the Aegean Sea for a swim. The following recording was conducted on the second to last night aboard the Yria. The conversations were charged by a successful day’s sail and lubricated with an assortment of spirits. Along the way we discuss – Why Do We Sail (3:00), What Has Sailing Taught You (5:00), Most Beautiful Sail (6:00), Most Dangerous Sail (7:40), and Sailing Lessons Applied to Business (16:00).
