Mediterranean mooring in 40-knot winds at Antiparos, Greece, aboard a Bavaria 51 goes wrong when a crew communication failure causes a near-collision with a neighboring boat.▶ 2:18 Alexandros Retsinas executes a stern-to mooring with anchor set from the bow, working in a crowded marina with no bollards — requiring lines run to the quay instead.▶ 4:54 On the first approach, the anchor drops too close to the water's edge, leaving insufficient scope; the boat ends up out of position and the maneuver must be repeated.▶ 5:39 On the second attempt, crew member Nigel, stationed at the bow, cannot hear commands clearly over the 40-knot wind noise and pays out roughly 4 meters of excess chain at the critical moment.▶ 8:54 The bow swings toward an adjacent vessel, and crew member Andreas applies hard counter-thrust to arrest the drift.▶ 9:41 A bow thruster and last-second engine work recover the situation.▶ 10:27 The third and final approach uses 70 meters of chain, no reverse thrust during the run-in, and a deliberate last-minute engine-ahead burst to position the stern precisely — both stern lines secured cleanly.▶ 12:05 The key lesson: in strong wind, use similar-sounding commands like "up" and "stop" with extreme care, have a contingency plan for a bad position, and place fenders before attempting any recovery rather than forcing a panicked full-throttle maneuver.
