Our Latest Adventures

MAY 2025 UPDATE
After house sitting much of summer 2024, we flew to Spain in mid-November to deliver our friends’ boat to the eastern Mediterranean. We have cruised from Spain to France to Italy to Greece, spent three months cruising Turkey, and have been back in Greece since May 1st. For a recap of the past few years, check out our About Us page, and for more frequent updates, view our PHOTO ALBUMS.

#travel #shipwreck #diving #wreckdiving #aegeansea While cruising the Cyclades Islands of Greece on a Fountaine Pajot 46 catamaran, we made a stop at Amorgos Island to explore the shipwreck of the Olympia. The Olympia rests near Kalotaritissa Beach on the southwestern side of Amorgos Island - the easternmost of the Cyclades Islands. In February 1980, her captain was trying to find a sheltered spot along the coast to escape strong northerly winds (reportedly reaching Force 10 on the Beaufort scale). Unfortunately, his attempt to anchor in Liveros Bay was unsuccessful, and the rough seas pushed the vessel onto the rocks.   The entire crew was rescued and made it safely ashore. The ship was initially named "Inland," a rather ironic name for a vessel that would eventually become a famous shipwreck. The wreck gained significant fame as it was featured in several scenes of Luc Besson's renowned 1988 film, "The Big Blue" (Le Grand Bleu). This cinematic appearance helped make Amorgos Island and the shipwreck known worldwide. Local narratives suggest the ship, sailing under a Cypriot flag at the time, may have been carrying a crew of contemporary pirates en route from Cyprus to Greece. Please subscribe to our channel.
