What this video covers
Oceanaire | Wik & Rox, a cruising sailboat, navigates a 20-mile passage to Geroliminas, Greece, in confused seas with a two-second wave interval.3:54 The crew encounters 30-knot winds near the cape, forcing them to seek a protected anchorage.20:44 Upon arrival, the anchor fails to set on the rocky seabed; the crew successfully re-anchors in a sandy patch identified via Google Maps.6:25 To confirm the hold, they use an Insta360 camera in a dive case to inspect the chain and anchor position underwater.8:44 The crew also cleans the hull to improve speed, noting significant marine growth.4:33 While anchored, they engage in spearfishing to target invasive lionfish and dusky spinefoot, noting that the Mediterranean’s rocky, overfished environment requires diving to depths of 10 to 30 meters for larger catches.16:23 The crew plans a subsequent transit around Cape Tainero into the Laconian Gulf, anticipating potentially hectic conditions due to intersecting winds and waves.20:23
