Departing Katakolon, the captain motors roughly half the 7–8 hour passage to Zakynthos (Iaquintos) after light winds and a head-on current killed boat speed under sail.1:56 Two to three hours of motoring were unavoidable; without the engine, arrival would have been after 21:00–22:00.2:48 On approach to the port, a fast-moving ferry cut across the bow at close range near the cliffs, forcing an immediate course deviation — the captain notes that smaller vessels must yield or maneuver, because a collision would be fatal.2:57 Berthing required choosing between a noisy ferry terminal area and a quieter spot alongside larger boats; the quieter berth won.5:04 Ashore, the captain explores Zakynthos town by folding bike, scouting fuel stations and points of interest.6:10 A brief sailing segment at 18 knots of wind with significant heel prompts practical notes on moving safely below decks on a heeled boat and choosing the leeward bunk for rest underway.6:38 The ferry encounter on the Zakynthos approach underlines that small sailboats must actively track and yield to fast commercial traffic near port entrances.3:13
