What this video covers

The crew of a sailboat cruising through the Greek Cyclades visits Sarakiniko Beach on Milos, a volcanic rock formation known as Moon Beach. They snorkel the wreck of the tanker *Africa*, which ran aground in 2003, and observe the vessel's anchor chain still visible on the seabed.3:41 During the transit between islands, the crew experiences a broken headsail pole, forcing them to sail with a restricted headsail configuration in light winds. They also encounter a leak in their cabin that soaks their bed during a passage.10:32 While motoring toward Antiparos, they maintain an average speed of six knots over a 24-nautical-mile distance.14:01 The crew later navigates 20 to 25 knots of wind, requiring them to reef the headsail halfway while maintaining speeds of 6 to 7 knots.17:20 They conclude the passage by anchoring at Sifnos, where they explore local tavernas and monuments.12:34
