Dirk and Riki depart Messolonghi, Greece, on the Lagoon 410 S2 Suria after nearly two years in the country, sailing 302 nautical miles to Syracuse, Sicily, over three days and three nights.▶ 0:25 The passage runs between Kefalonia and Zakynthos before crossing the Ionian Sea, with wind shifting erratically between 4 and 20 knots and frequent calms forcing the crew to motor in sections.▶ 3:42 A Mediterranean heat wave on August 9 pushes temperatures to 35°C.▶ 5:39 Watch schedules run 22:00–02:00 and 02:00–06:00; instruments are dimmed to red for night vision, and the chartplotter and VHF are monitored from inside the saloon.▶ 11:30 The Raymarine EVO 1 autopilot holds course even at near-zero boat speed during a flat-calm stretch 30 miles out.▶ 17:36 Estimated arrival slips to midnight after wind losses.▶ 13:20 The anchor drops off the island of Ortigia in Syracuse, sheltered from northeast winds.▶ 21:34 Ashore, the crew explores the Castello Maniace, the Mikve ritual bath, the Apollo Temple, and the Greek theater at the archaeological park Neapolis.▶ 23:43 Dirk notes that quitting alcohol since the previous September eliminated the seasickness he previously experienced during the first two days of offshore passages.▶ 9:52
