Τι καλύπτει αυτό το βίντεο
A couple sailing a small boat through the Northern Sporades in Greece navigates a series of challenging anchorages and night passages during late-season Meltemi winds. After departing Milina on Limnos, the crew encounters 20-knot gusts and significant swell, forcing them to abandon drone photography when a sub-250g drone struggles to land in high winds.9:40 Upon reaching Steniwala on Alonissos, increasing swell causes the boat to pitch violently, compelling the crew to depart at 2:30 a.m. to find calmer water.17:11 They hand-steer through a pitch-black night in 35-knot gusts before finding shelter on the west side of Alonissos.17:56 The crew relies on their boat's deckhouse for protection during these conditions and manages fuel consumption by motoring through light-wind sections, noting that 22 liters of diesel covered approximately 160 miles.6:45 They plan to continue toward Athens while monitoring weather forecasts for 55 km/h gusts and impending rain.21:57 Operating a small vessel in high-wind conditions requires constant vigilance regarding swell, as even protected anchorages can become untenable overnight.
