The crew anchors in Himare, Albania, for two nights, noting the sandy bottom and clear water but citing constant swell and loud beach music as significant drawbacks.0:32 After an unpredicted 30-knot gale forces a delay, they depart for an eight-hour, 35-nautical-mile passage toward Vlore.2:27 Because fuel stations are scarce in Albania, the crew relies on reserves purchased at Corfu Marina.3:38 The passage involves motoring against a northerly wind and heavy swell, forcing an impromptu overnight stop in a protected bay along the peninsula to escape choppy conditions.5:22 The coastline features numerous concrete bunkers and a large cave identified as a former submarine tunnel.8:37 Upon rounding the peninsula, the crew reaches Orikum Marina, the only marina in Albania, to clear in and access shore facilities.10:35 The transit highlights the lack of protected anchorages along the Albanian coast and the necessity of carrying sufficient fuel for long-distance motoring.
