A solo sailor departs Kos after a seven-day weather delay, navigating a 37-nautical-mile passage to the island of Astipalea.0:10 The transit requires a heading of 273 degrees, with wind speeds reaching 20 knots and significant sea states.4:26 The sailor reefs the genoa to maintain speeds between 5 and 7 knots, relying on the autopilot during the six-to-seven-hour crossing.6:33 Upon arrival at Astipalea, the sailor avoids the main port to seek a sheltered anchorage near a village, finding protection from the wind behind the island's mountains.10:13 Despite the sheltered anchorage, high winds persist for four days, complicating dinghy trips to the shore.15:43 The sailor spends the time fishing, catching a one-kilogram mullet, and observing local conditions, including nearby military vessels and the Chora at night.16:32 The passage highlights the contrast between the exposed, turbulent waters near Kos and the protected, calm anchorages available on the leeward side of Astipalea.
