Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of the sailing vessel reality transits the Corinth Canal in Greece after navigating the Rio-Antirrio Bridge. To pass under the Rio-Antirrio Bridge, the crew contacts the bridge traffic port authority one hour before arrival to provide vessel dimensions and again one mile out for clearance instructions.2:33 The transit involves dodging ferries and managing 25–35 knots of wind on the nose with 1.5-meter swells.7:22 After anchoring overnight in Aigio Bay, the vessel enters the 6-kilometer-long Corinth Canal.6:32 Navigating the canal requires constant steering adjustments to counter wind gusts and variable currents, which can pull the boat toward the jagged, landslide-prone rock walls.23:10 The canal features multiple bridges and requires payment of a toll at a kiosk upon exit, where the crew also plans to refuel with 700 liters of diesel before continuing toward the Saronic Islands.34:08 The canal remains open 24/7 except for maintenance on Tuesdays.28:56 Maintaining higher speed improves steering control in the narrow, wind-funneled channel.29:57
