Ce que couvre cette vidéo

Sailing a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 39i solo through the Cyclades, the skipper makes a series of island hops — Sifnos, Antiparos, Paros, Naxos, Amorgos, Ios, Folegandros, and back to Milos — managing persistent Meltemi conditions throughout.▶ 5:39 Wind in the island channels regularly accelerates to 20–27 knots, forcing repeated reefing decisions: up to three reefs in the mainsail on the Antiparos-to-Paros passage, where boat speed hit 8.5–9 knots at 55 degrees apparent.▶ 10:58 Wind shadows behind islands repeatedly kill boat speed and distort apparent wind direction, requiring tactical adjustments — including hugging island coastlines to find true wind rather than dropping south into the lee.▶ 2:49 At Antiparos, the skipper anchors in 4 meters on 30 meters of chain and rides out gusts to 38 knots over a five-day wait.▶ 6:56 A southerly swell running against a northerly Meltemi creates uncomfortable beam-sea conditions on the Amorgos departure despite only 15–20 knots of wind.▶ 21:19 The skipper identifies Milos's south anchorage as the best Meltemi refuge in the area and uses it as a base.▶ 21:58 In light air, the boat makes 4.4 knots at 50 degrees apparent, prompting repeated thoughts about adding a code zero.▶ 30:09 Island channels in the Cyclades consistently accelerate wind well beyond forecast values.▶ 5:13
