Meltemi on Skyros - Chaos while docking & island magic in the Aegean #sailing

24 June 2025 · 17 min · 2K views · Skyros Island

What this video covers

The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 *Suria* anchors in a large, unfinished, and empty marina on the east side of Skyros, Greece, to seek shelter from Meltemi winds.1:58 To prevent the catamaran from pressing against the quay wall during side-shifting winds, the crew deploys a secondary anchor 35 meters off the beam, hauling the line to the midship cleat with the windlass to maintain a half-meter standoff.5:23 During their stay, they use folding bicycles to explore the island, including the steep, narrow streets of Skyros Chora and the habitat of the rare Skyros pony.6:24 The crew observes a docking failure in the nearby Linaria marina, where a yacht’s bow line was left unfastened by a marina hand, causing the vessel to drift and crush a small support boat against the quay.11:28 After departing Skyros for Euboea, the crew catches a 10-kilogram tuna while sailing downwind, which they process using an onboard vacuum sealer.16:16
