What this video covers

The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 catamaran *Suria* sails two short coastal passages in Greece, traveling from Pylos to Methoni and then to Finikounda. After waiting out high winds in Navarino Bay, the crew completes a 9.4-mile transit to Methoni, where they anchor and explore the 13th-century Venetian fortress, the Castro of Methoni.1:00 The following day, they sail 5–6 miles to Finikounda in light winds of 10–15 knots, utilizing the passage to test new fishing gear, including a rod and reel paired with a red-and-white wobbler lure.8:25 During the transit, the crew operates the watermaker to replenish tanks and maintains a slow pace, averaging 2–3 knots.12:30 The final leg to Finikounda requires beating into the wind, with the boat maintaining a 50-degree apparent wind angle and a speed over ground of approximately 3.3 knots.15:41 The crew also demonstrates their anchor retrieval procedure, which involves using a bridle to relieve chain tension before hoisting the anchor and securing it for transit.14:47
