What this video covers
The crew of the sailboat reality anchors in a small bay on the west coast of Agkistri, an island in the Saronic Gulf, Greece. To secure the vessel in the narrow, six-boat capacity bay, the crew performs a stern-to mooring, running a line from the stern to a rock on shore while dropping the anchor in eight meters of water. The crew uses the tender to transport the stern line to the rocks, then reverses the boat to tension the line and lock it in place. The anchorage features sandy patches amidst seagrass, requiring careful navigation to avoid shallow reefs. The crew later relocates to Mandraki, the island's main town and ferry port, where they anchor in five meters of water. They utilize the Navily app for local information and provisions. The crew reports that the area is popular with superyachts and requires precise anchoring techniques to avoid overlapping gear in the confined, buoyed-off swimming zones.
