Qué cubre este vídeo

A 70-mile passage from Elefonesos to Milos in the Cyclades involves navigating 18-knot winds and 6-to-8-foot head seas, resulting in an uncomfortable, bucking ride.6:10 The vessel, a sailboat equipped with laminate sails, experiences significant noise during lulls and requires careful management of gear to maintain stability on the high side.1:31 Upon arrival at Milos, the engine fails to start, necessitating an anchorage in 25–30 feet of water.7:05 Maintenance tasks performed at anchor include eliminating play in the tiller by shimming the connection with plastic cut from a water bottle, replacing a high-modulus jib sheet with a double-braid polyester line to improve handling, and grinding down a non-locking winch handle to fit the mast winches.13:23 The hull shield electronic anti-fouling system remains in good condition.7:52 Future plans include sailing through Greece, Turkey, Albania, Montenegro, Croatia, and Italy.17:42
