What this video covers
A crew sailing from the heel of Italy to Corfu, Greece, covers a 70-mile passage while managing fishing lines, autopilot failures, and single-handed sailing transitions.13:00 The fleet, including a Westerly 33, navigates light winds and occasional 28-knot gusts, with one vessel experiencing an autopilot shutdown attributed to low battery or current limits.21:19 During the transit, the crew utilizes hand lines and rods to catch amberjack and squid, noting the effectiveness of panko-crusted preparations for the catch.12:34 Upon arrival at a Greek island anchorage, the crew anchors in three meters of water with 30 meters of chain.28:46 Customs procedures for a UK-flagged vessel with French residency are handled through local Coast Guard and Guardia di Finanza stations without requiring sailing licenses or an ICC.10:48 The passage highlights the psychological and physical differences between crewed sailing and single-handed operation, particularly during night watches.26:06
