What this video covers

A 20-mile coastal passage in the Mediterranean leads to the anchorage at Havre de Margerie, located near the Iles du Frioul.8:52 The crew encounters crowded conditions with limited swinging room, forcing them to re-anchor twice to maintain safe distance from nearby rocks and vessels moored with shore lines.14:33 During the transit, the boat maintains speeds between 2.5 and 4.5 knots while close-hauled in light winds, utilizing the autopilot for steering.5:30 The crew struggles to achieve proper anchor scope due to the density of day-boaters and overlapping anchor chains.14:43 After day-boaters depart in the evening, the anchorage provides sufficient protection from rare southeasterly winds.16:50 The crew decides to remain at anchor for multiple days rather than beating into unfavorable winds, prioritizing comfort over passage progress.16:56
