Sailing Squib's catamaran navigates a deteriorating weather system in Greek waters during Sabina's final days aboard before her flight home.▶ 0:19 Anchored near Kap Sunion at sunrise, the crew faces a forecast of Beaufort 6 shifting winds, heavy rain, and thunderstorms.▶ 0:31 A planned stop at Chapel Cove proves full; the marina Alimos declines a berth request.▶ 5:16 The skipper admits entering the bay of Varkiza was a serious misjudgment — gusts hit 40 knots, the boat made 0.4 knots under full engine power, and the crew barely weighed anchor in time.▶ 0:00 They round the cape after an hour covering two miles, then sail 28–35 knots on a beam reach toward the strait between Attica and Salamis.▶ 8:40 The sheltered bay behind Salamis offers flat water, but onshore wind at 0430 forces another anchor move; the second position, 200 meters off the Salamis north shore, holds.▶ 12:04 The episode also reviews boat projects completed underway: switch-panel labeling, interior trim, mirror and fittings installation, windvane steering commissioning, autopilot bracket fabrication, corroded autopilot connector replacement, AIS antenna cable soldering, and a starboard engine water-pump replacement after water entered the oil.▶ 17:18 Entering an exposed bay without a confirmed fallback anchorage cost the crew a full day of difficult sailing in deteriorating conditions.▶ 0:00
