Hva denne videoen dekker
A solo sailor cruising the Greek islands of Lemnos, Lesbos, Chios, and Psara manages engine failure, anchor drag, and heavy Meltemi winds while navigating between anchorages and marinas. The engine failed to start due to a jammed fuel shut-off solenoid, which the sailor eventually cleared.0:20 During a period of 24-knot winds off Lemnos, the boat dragged anchor in poor holding, forcing an emergency departure under genoa alone to reach a more secure sandy anchorage.6:08 The sailor later experienced autopilot failure while sailing between Psara and Chios in 1.5-meter seas, caused by excessive weather helm; reducing the genoa sail area stabilized the boat and allowed the autopilot to maintain course.41:41 Throughout the passage, the sailor utilized lithium battery power for the windlass and adjusted sail plans—including multiple reefs in the mainsail and genoa—to handle wind speeds ranging from light airs to 25 knots. The trip included stops at Mytilene marina for fuel and water, and coastal navigation through channels marked by red and green buoys.22:40
