What this video covers
A solo sailor cruising the Greek coast reports on anchorages and passage planning while navigating toward Italy. After spending time at Grevataki Bay, the sailor transits to Gerolimenas, a small village characterized by stone architecture and steep cliffs.▶ 11:00 The sailor notes that Gerolimenas offers limited space, with only about five spots available for anchoring in 15 to 20 meters of depth, often requiring significant chain scope.▶ 11:00 Navily reviews warned of crowding, but the sailor secured a spot by arriving early.▶ 11:01 The passage plan involves sailing north toward Albania before crossing to Italy, a route chosen to reduce the open-water transit to approximately 24 hours, compared to a three-day direct crossing from Sicily.▶ 3:50 During the voyage, the sailor observes local weather patterns, noting concerns about potential micro-storms caused by high water temperatures.▶ 1:13 The trip, now in its third month, includes daily swimming, snorkeling with sea turtles, and coastal exploration.▶ 2:42
