Vasilis E. Riginos
Dr. Vasilis Riginos is my older brother. He too is dedicated to the sea.
The Thetis is his sailboat and he lives on her for several months every year. He has had many travels with Thetis. He has sailed, among other places, to Turkey, Malta, Sardinia, the Black Sea, Tunisia and has crossed the Atlantic.
During my 1998 trip to the Black Sea, Vasilis embarked on the “Faneromeni” in Mytilene and came with me as far as Istanbul (Constantinople).
See his website: Travels with S/Y Thetis.
