What this video covers
A sudden 180-degree wind shift during a storm in a crowded Greek anchorage caused multiple vessels to drag anchor, forcing one boat onto the rocks.19:27 The crew of *Supernova* assisted in the rescue after a bystander boarded the drifting vessel and motored it off the rocks.14:33 The incident occurred because the grounded boat was stern-tied to shore, preventing it from swinging into the wind and waves, which caused the connection between the chain and the boat to fail.19:26 Following the storm, the *Supernova* crew performed maintenance on their watermaker, replacing the membrane and O-rings with technical support from a specialist company.29:30 The vessel later departed for Parga, navigating near a reef between Paxos and the mainland that was recently added to digital charts.40:47 The crew emphasizes the importance of proper anchoring techniques and maintaining updated charts to avoid hazards in the Ionian Sea.
