Thilo and Leonie prepare their boat in Argostoli, Kefalonia, for a 330-mile passage to Sicily and Malta.▶ 2:49 The crew troubleshoots a bilge pump that fails to evacuate water effectively due to the length of the discharge hose and the need for a prime; they conclude the pump functions but requires manual assistance for small amounts of standing water.▶ 6:47 They investigate a suspected oil leak in the bilge, confirming it is residual fluid from a previous spill rather than an active engine leak, and verify the engine oil level is within the acceptable range.▶ 16:55 To prepare for the multi-day offshore transit, the crew secures the dinghy and its outboard motor, stocks provisions, and plans a route using weather routing software to navigate around an approaching storm system.▶ 17:53 They aim to maintain a 5-knot average speed, anticipating a mix of close-hauled and beam reaching conditions with a potential calm patch near the end of the route.▶ 15:12 The crew departs Kefalonia to exit the Mediterranean, seeking more remote sailing grounds after deciding to end their coastal cruising in Greece.▶ 20:08
