What this video covers
The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 catamaran Suria navigates the northern coast of Euboea, Greece, seeking protected anchorages to escape uncomfortable swell and high summer temperatures.3:15 After departing a sheltered bay on Euboea, they motor 25 miles to the thermal springs at Loutra.5:13 The anchorage at Loutra features a sandy bottom with good holding, though it remains exposed to southern and western winds.6:46 The crew utilises the nearby marina for dinghy access to the town’s thermal baths, where water temperatures range from 37 to 46 degrees Celsius in the bathing areas.7:38 During a subsequent passage toward the Northern Sporades, the crew encounters a pod of dolphins that repeatedly changes direction alongside the boat during multiple tacks.12:13 The transit to Skiathos requires a 4:30 a.m. departure to utilise favourable currents and avoid headwind conditions.15:59 Upon arrival, they anchor off the main town, noting the proximity of the local airport to the beach and exploring the island’s forested hiking trails.18:11
