On the first two attempts, the crew aborted the crossing and returned to their Italian anchorage after encountering 25-knot winds and 3-to-4-meter swells that exceeded the forecast.2:57 During the weather delays, the crew performed a formal boat-renaming ritual to change the vessel's name from Blue Moon to Oceanaire | Wik & Rox, involving the removal of old branding and a libation ceremony to Poseidon.11:59 On the third attempt, the crew successfully reached Greek waters and anchored off the island of Othonoi before proceeding to Corfu.14:47 The passage required careful timing to avoid afternoon wind increases, with the crew departing at 5:30 a.m. to reach their destination by mid-afternoon. The experience highlights the necessity of waiting for favorable weather windows when crossing the Ionian Sea, even when initial forecasts appear manageable.
