A crew experiences difficulty anchoring and mooring stern-to in Sivota, Lefkas, due to gusting winds reaching 35 knots.3:16 After three failed attempts to secure the anchor in the bay, the crew moves to a pontoon where a local instructor assists with the docking process.4:52 The vessel remains in the area for over a week, waiting out forecasted high winds that ultimately fail to materialize.6:06 While anchored in the region, the crew encounters crowded conditions at public quays in Vlijo, where charter yachts occupy available space, forcing the crew to leave their boat and travel by bus to Lefkas.11:07 The crew also sails past the island of Scorpios, noting restricted access to the bay and the presence of a private helipad.8:25 The experience highlights the challenges of finding secure mooring in popular Greek cruising grounds during peak charter season and the necessity of remaining flexible when weather forecasts prove inaccurate.
