The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 *Suria* completes a 103-nautical-mile overnight passage from the southwest Peloponnese to Monemvasia, Greece.9:26 Departing from Petalidi, the vessel rounds the southern tips of the peninsula’s second and third fingers, navigating through heavy commercial shipping traffic near the Bosporus transit route.0:40 The crew utilizes a gennaker for downwind sailing until wind speeds increase to 16–17 knots near the capes, necessitating a sail change to maintain a northerly course.6:33 After 23 hours of sailing, the final two hours require engine power due to light winds and an inability to beat effectively against the remaining breeze.9:42 They arrive at the newly constructed, non-operational harbor in Monemvasia, which offers no shore power or water but provides clear, deep water for anchoring.10:42 The crew explores the historic, car-free Byzantine fortress town, noting that the steep, polished cobblestone paths in the Upper Town present a significant slipping hazard for pedestrians.14:43 The passage highlights the necessity of timing weather windows to avoid motoring and the utility of AIS for monitoring heavy freighter traffic around the Peloponnese capes.
