What this video covers

Dirk and Riki depart the Gulf of Corinth westward aboard their Lagoon 410, Suria, bound ultimately for Syracuse, Sicily, then Malta — a passage of just over 300 miles — marking the start of their westward push after years in Greek waters.▶ 24:37 From Trizonia, the only inhabited island in the Gulf of Corinth, they note a narrow anchorage exposed to a north wind shift and a harbor fee of six euros, no longer free.▶ 5:50 At Nafpaktos they anchor in muddy holding directly before the city walls, describing it as one of the finest towns they have seen in Greece; the Venetian harbor and medieval hilltop fortress are the main draws, with a vegetarian pita costing three euros at a waterfront taverna.▶ 11:49 Transiting the Rio Bridge at Patras requires radio contact with Rion Traffic on channel 16, reporting position at 4.5 miles and again at 1 mile for final clearance, with three pylons to port and one to starboard in the north navigation channel.▶ 13:55 At Messolonghi — a previous winter base — they anchor ahead of the marina in shallow lagoon water, run the watermaker at 150 liters per hour offshore, and collect two packages.▶ 18:35 Dirk installs new engine mounts ordered from Spain.▶ 19:49 Departing August 8, they route between Kefalonia and Zakynthos, aiming for the northern tip of Zakynthos for better wind.▶ 25:56 Starlink, ordered ahead, will be collected in Malta.▶ 24:37
