What this video covers

The crew of the Regina, Sailing Dash, and Petit Marit moor at a buoy in Thira, Santorini, due to the absence of viable anchoring or marina facilities.0:32 The extreme depth near the coast, exceeding 150 meters, prevents traditional anchoring and necessitates a complex mooring configuration.0:55 Each vessel secures a bow line to the buoy and a stern line to a nearby pier, requiring over 100 meters of line per boat.0:51 Javi, sailing the Regina solo, requires assistance from the crew of the other vessels to complete the maneuver.1:53 The process involves splicing together multiple lengths of line to reach the shore.1:34 Customs procedures require submitting documentation to the port police, whose office is located at the top of the cliff above the town.2:17 The lack of tourist traffic, attributed to pandemic-related travel restrictions, allows the vessels to occupy moorings typically reserved for large commercial ships.2:49
