What this video covers

The crew of Doodles departs Koufonisia, Greece, after leaving the boat in a marina slip secured by a lazy line attached to a concrete block.1:33 To depart, the crew releases the mooring line from the seawall and clears the marina.2:08 They motor approximately 10 miles to Schinoussa in light winds, where they anchor by dropping the hook and running a stern line to the shore to hold the boat off the rocks.3:15 After exploring the village, the crew motors toward Antiparos in calm, glassy conditions to avoid the 30-to-40-knot winds experienced the previous week.6:44 Upon reaching Antiparos, they anchor in a common anchorage area.9:13 The crew later sets the mainsail and Genoa for close-hauled sailing when the wind shifts to 10 knots from the north, though they eventually drop the sails when the wind dies.7:24 The vessel continues its transit toward the Cyclades and the Saronic Islands to prepare for a scheduled flotilla.6:57
