The owner of the 38-ft sailboat *Squib* completes a two-day solo passage from Trizonia to Mesolonghi Marina, Greece, navigating through unstable weather, rain squalls, and shifting winds.24:45 Departing Trizonia before dawn, the vessel motors and motorsails under a genoa, encountering unexpected 15–20 knot headwinds despite forecasts of lighter air.19:07 Near the Rio-Antirrio Bridge, the approach of a thunderstorm with lightning forces a temporary diversion to anchor in the bay of Nafpaktos to wait for the cell to pass.23:46 The passage concludes with a successful arrival at the Mesolonghi Marina, where the boat is prepared for winter haul-out.24:45 Throughout the trip, the owner utilizes a mid-ship spring line technique to dock solo in crosswinds, avoiding the need for assistance.13:37 Observations at Trizonia include the discovery of a recently sunken vessel, likely due to a failed bilge pump or lack of self-draining cockpit, highlighting the risks of leaving boats unattended in the region.16:19 Constant weather monitoring proves unreliable, confirming that passage planning requires flexibility to adapt to real-time conditions.19:31
