Ce que couvre cette vidéo
The crew of Squib departs Linaria, Skyros, before sunrise for a 54-nautical-mile passage to Andros in the Cyclades.0:43 They initially deploy a parasail in light winds, but mechanical failure in the wind vane steering system forces the crew to hand-steer for the duration of the trip.2:12 The issue stems from excessive friction in the vertical axis plastic bearings, which the owner later resolves by sanding the shaft and replacing the bearings.4:25 As wind speeds increase, the crew strikes the parasail and switches to the jib, reaching speeds of nine knots.5:24 Approaching the channel between Andros and Euboea, they encounter strong winds consistent with warnings in the Rothaikl sailing guide.5:50 Upon entering the bay at Gavrio, Andros, the boat faces 40-knot Meltemi gusts.7:15 The crew anchors in 3.5 meters of water at the north end of the bay, deploying their full chain to hold against mountain-induced katabatic winds.7:21 They observe local ferries performing Mediterranean-style moorings nearby before eventually moving to a quay.7:48
