Cosa tratta questo video
Kelly and Eddie sail north along the Albanian coast from Saranda to Himare, navigating limited infrastructure and unpredictable wind conditions.1:33 The crew experiences recurring issues with a seized anchor windlass, which they resolve using a hammer.0:51 During a stop at Kokume Bay, the boat encounters sudden, intense gusts reaching 30 to 40 knots, forcing the crew to maintain an anchor watch throughout the night.2:15 Despite the lack of swell, the wind remains inconsistent, complicating sleep and work schedules.5:26 The pair later attempts to dock at a quay in Porto Palermo, but a local directs them away from the only available spot.9:25 They note that Porto Palermo is accessible to private vessels only between July and October, as it otherwise serves as a military base.9:50 The transit concludes in Himare, where the crew finds a shallow, albeit unprotected, anchorage.10:33 The lack of established marinas and reliable docking space makes coastal cruising in Albania challenging for those balancing remote work with sailing.10:42
