¿Qué cubre este video?
Sailing Squib's catamaran navigates a deteriorating weather system in Greek waters during Sabina's final days aboard before her flight home. Anchored near Kap Sunion at sunrise, the crew faces a forecast of Beaufort 6 shifting winds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms.0:31 A planned stop at Chapel Cove proves full; the marina Alimos declines a berth request.5:31 The skipper admits entering the bay of Varkiza was a serious misjudgment — gusts hit 40 knots, the boat made 0.4 knots under full engine power, and the crew barely weighed anchor in time.Watch They round the cape after an hour covering two miles, then sail 28–35 knots on a beam reach toward the strait between Attica and Salamis.8:12 The sheltered bay behind Salamis offers flat water, but onshore wind at 0430 forces another anchor move; the second position, 200 meters off the Salamis north shore, holds.15:23 The episode also reviews boat projects completed underway: switch-panel labeling, interior trim, mirror and fittings installation, windvane steering commissioning, autopilot bracket fabrication, corroded autopilot connector replacement, AIS antenna cable soldering, and a starboard engine water-pump replacement after water entered the oil.24:33 Entering an exposed bay without a confirmed fallback anchorage cost the crew a full day of difficult sailing in deteriorating conditions.
