The yacht Annabella slips away from Naxos Town as light catches the Aegean; wind fills the mainsail and the sea seems to dare you forward. On deck, Captain George—an old salt with four decades of Mediterranean miles—hands over the tiller, points to the instruments and lets the lesson begin: trimming, steering, reading the swell.
