Qué cubre este vídeo
A cruising couple transits the Chalkis bridge in Greece, navigating from the Euboean Gulf toward Cape Sounion in early October.2:14 The crew reports a voltage drop in their lithium battery bank, noting levels between 12 and 13 volts when solar input ceases, which causes their freezer box to shut down due to insufficient startup current.8:59 To conserve power during overcast conditions, they decommission the freezer box and reinstall a smaller freezer compartment inside the main refrigerator, a process requiring the removal and re-hanging of the refrigerator door.16:28 While sailing toward Cape Sounion, the crew manages a 7-to-12-knot wind with a full genoa and engine assist to maintain a steady pace.17:45 They observe heavy congestion in anchorages near the Chalkis bridge and note a significant increase in charter traffic in Greek waters compared to previous years.4:31 The passage concludes with the crew arriving at a marina near Athens to disembark a passenger before continuing their voyage.22:55
