The crew of the 38-ft sailboat Squib completed a transit from Mangalia, Romania, to Loutra Edipsou, Greece, to position the vessel for winter storage in Mesolonghi.0:15 Facing a strict deadline for a flight home from Athens, the crew maintained a minimum daily pace of 40 nautical miles to outrun unfavorable weather windows.0:32 The passage across the Black Sea involved sustained winds of Force 5 to 6 with gusts to 7, requiring the use of a Windpilot self-steering system while surfing waves with wind speeds recorded between 30 and 35 knots.2:24 After transiting the Bosphorus and the Dardanelles without local SIM cards for weather updates, the crew navigated the Northern Sporades under the influence of the Meltemi wind.4:21 To avoid forecast conditions of Force 6 to 8, they opted for the sheltered route between the island of Euboea and the Greek mainland rather than the more exposed path via Skyros and Andros.7:05 The vessel is currently in Loutra Edipsou, with plans to transit the bridge at Chalkida before reaching the final destination near Athens.1:04
