What this video covers

The crew of the 41-ft Lagoon 410 S2 catamaran *Suria* departs Koroni, Greece, after experiencing uncomfortable swell and poor anchor holding in the local bay.7:21 The vessel’s anchor chain repeatedly snagged on underwater rocks, and the lack of wind resulted in significant rolling from incoming open-sea swells.8:03 Following advice from fellow sailors, the crew sails 10 miles northwest to Petalidi, using a gennaker in light winds to reach the new anchorage.8:08 They anchor in 2.5 meters of water near the beach to minimize swell.10:45 During the transit, the crew manages water production using an unautomated, solar-powered system and navigates using Navionics on a mobile device.9:39 While exploring Petalidi, they encounter an undocumented archaeological site featuring ancient stone foundations and walls uncovered during local road construction.15:08 The crew plans a subsequent overnight passage east toward Monemvasia to avoid an approaching storm.18:14
