The crew of the Oceanaire | Wik & Rox, a 50-foot sailboat currently cruising in Greece, inadvertently anchored in the restricted waters of Shipwreck Bay on the island of Zakynthos.11:37 After anchoring, local authorities informed the crew that anchoring and beach access are prohibited due to the risk of falling rock from the surrounding cliffs.14:25 The crew relocated the vessel to a different anchorage after dark.14:16
Maintenance tasks performed during the trip include replacing a water heater heating element, which had failed due to significant limescale buildup from mineral-heavy Mediterranean tap water.4:42 The repair cost 75 euros for the element and new gaskets.5:45 Additionally, the crew removed aging German-language labels from the cockpit jammers to replace them with English versions.3:16 The vessel also visited the south side of Kefalonia for a wine tasting at Sade's Winery.11:07
