What this video covers

Javi sails downwind from the bay of Kamari toward the volcanic island of Nisyros in 20 to 25 knots of wind.0:27 The boat carries a double-reefed mainsail and maintains a speed of over 5 knots during the transit.0:58 The anchorage at Kamari offers excellent protection from northerly winds, though the surrounding area lacks significant aesthetic appeal.1:53 The seabed drops sharply from 150 to 200 meters just off the beach, creating a unique environment where large swordfish hunt close to the shore.2:03 These predators frequently appear near anchored vessels, allowing for close-range observation of their feeding behavior.2:32 The lack of tourism due to coronavirus restrictions left the anchorage empty during this visit.1:35
