At Cape Sounion under the gaze of the temple of Poseidon, Greek god of the Sea, the fleet of the first edition of the Aegean 600 set off today for the start of their 605-mile odyssey throughout the Aegean archipelago. Thirty-eight monohull and multihull teams started in a gentle 7-9 knot south easterly breeze with a small upwind lap to round a buoy set just off the spectacular 100-meter sea cliffs at the Cape.
From here the fleet heads south towards their first island rounding mark at the southwest corner of Milos, about 60 miles away. The weather forecast predicts light headwinds throughout the night until resuming about midday tomorrow from the south, but unlikely to exceed 10 knots in strength. By then the faster boats may be starting the next leg on a faster spinnaker reach headed ESE towards a rounding mark placed within the spectacular caldera of Santorini.
