What if I get bored? This is one of the most common questions for someone who is about to enter a sailing boat! It only makes sense for someone who is not familiar with the sailing lifestyle to wonder if they are going to be bored on a sailing trip. If you think that boredom is the single biggest threat to the sailing dream, the reality is quite different. When you get on board you are going to understand that you are going to look for more time instead of things.
While sailing there are so many things you can do!
The choices when you have the time to connect with the real you, are endless, Let’s take a look to the to-do- list- while- sailing;
1. Organize your meals – it’s the perfect time to rearrange your life and create a healthy diet for you.
2. Go fishing – give it a try, you never know you might turn out to be a natural talent!
3. Read your favorite books – can you imagine a better reading spot than the deck of a luxurious sailing boat?
4. Write a letter to someone you love – instead of texting on and on, take your time and write down what really is in heart.
5. Draw a picture or write a book – yes, you can be creative! All you need is a piece of paper and a pencil. The scenery is right in front of you and ready to inspire you!
6. Do yoga on board – yes! You have the best scenery, the time, the calm vibe – practically everything you need, to focus on a yoga session.
7. Write and send a postcard from each Greek island you visit – while doing the islands hopping in Greece buy, write and send a postcard to your relatives back to your country.
8.Learn how to read the sailing maps and compass – Start from the basics, that will help you understand the process and how to interact with.
9.Practice on splicing and rope knots – you can also ask the skipper to show the most known boating knots and how to splice in order to help him.

14. Create a secret message in a bottle – write a well kept secret, put it in a bottle and throw it in the sea. It is the best psychotherapy. It is like you say it on a stranger, but you do not have a clue when they are going to read it. It is a unique feeling!
15. Learn about the stars – at night when you’re pretty tired from day passed, you can sit on the deck with your friends and learn for the stars. Or even better you can wait until one falls and make a wish!
