What this video covers

Eddie and Kelly perform maintenance on their boat while docked at the Preveza Town Quay in Greece.0:07 They repair a bent anchor windlass splitter by having a local metalworker cut and re-weld the component.0:49 They also replace a damaged plastic Amiot deck fill that had been stripped by a winch handle, requiring them to disconnect the diesel hose from below deck and install a new unit with silicone sealant.1:35 Following these repairs, the pair sails north along the Greek mainland, stopping at Two Rocks Bay and Sivota before motoring to Misongi on the island of Corfu.4:07 The transit occurs during a regional heat wave with temperatures reaching 35 degrees Celsius, forcing the crew to motor for long stretches when winds die.8:47 They navigate crowded anchorages, noting that Two Rocks Bay and Sivota are heavily occupied by tourist vessels.6:54 The passage concludes with the decision to anchor in Misongi rather than the main harbour of Corfu.13:56
