Departing from Niros (port of Pylos area, Greece), Captain Ziane sails north toward Corfu with an eventual goal of crossing to Italy.4:21 He reefed the mainsail twice and rolled two or three reefs into the genoa after Windy forecast near-calm conditions but actual winds hit 20–25 knots with waves — a direct lesson in not trusting weather apps completely.7:43 Because of that experience sailing solo, he abandoned a plan to make a three-day open-water passage directly to Sicily and instead chose to work up the Greek coast to shorten the Greece-to-Italy crossing to roughly 24 hours.8:07 He anchors at Marathopoli at 16:00; the hook sets on the first drop.9:39 Before departure, he fished for one to two hours at Niros and caught a large sea bass (roughly 2 kg, knee-height on his leg), a barracuda, and several other fish — his best catch to date — then stopped deliberately to avoid taking more than he could eat or share.0:07 He cooks the sea bass and barracuda with onion, tomato, garlic, curry, paprika, and olive oil.2:01 Solo sailing amplifies weather risk: without crew to share watches, even a 24-hour crossing demands a conservative weather window.
