The crew of the Lagoon 410 S2 catamaran *Suria* sails from Spyros to the Greek island of Kea, with an overnight stop at Euboea.▶ 0:25 While anchored in a northwest bay on Kea, the crew performs a sail-stowing technique using a fender placed between the boom and the coachroof to lower the boom for easier access to the mainsail zipper.▶ 3:05 During their stay, they experience high winds that blow a bath mat off the railing and into the water, where it is lost.▶ 7:02 The crew later anchors at Varkiza to facilitate a crew change, noting the bay's proximity to Athens and its popularity for airport transfers.▶ 13:02 They subsequently sail to Agia Marina on Aegina, where they encounter a charter catamaran anchoring too close to their position, necessitating a request for the other skipper to relocate.▶ 14:31 The crew utilizes AIS to monitor nearby ferry traffic and vessel proximity during their passages.▶ 14:02
