The wooden hull rocks in a slow, even cadence as the city slips away and the Saronic Sea opens its surface like a cool sheet. You step onto the deck at Marina Zea as late afternoon light softens Piraeus; the crew offers a welcome drink, the engine hums, and the coastline begins to unspool — Faliro, Alimos, and Glyfada sliding past like coastal chapters.
