What this video covers
The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 catamaran Suria sails from Spyros to the Greek island of Kea, with an overnight stop at Euboea.0:24 While anchored in a north-west bay on Kea, the crew performs a sail-stowing technique using a fender placed between the boom and the coachroof to lower the boom for easier access to the mainsail zipper.3:05 During their stay, they experience high winds that blow a bath mat off the railing and into the water, where it is lost.7:02 The crew later anchors at Varkiza to facilitate a crew change, noting the bay's proximity to Athens and its popularity for airport transfers.12:55 They subsequently sail to Agia Marina on Aegina, where they encounter a charter catamaran anchoring too close to their position, necessitating a request for the other skipper to relocate.14:31 The crew utilises AIS to monitor nearby ferry traffic and vessel proximity during their passages.10:23
