  • What seems like a peaceful anchorage turns into absolute mayhem! Check it out guys....we couldn't believe it ourselves! We had made it to Greece! This has been one of our bucket list destinations....and we are beyond excited to be here! After checking in and getting our cruising log book we head over to our second island, Paxos. We have no clue how to stern to ...... but luckily we have some help. We enjoy hanging around the Port of Gaios and learn how to disentangle a fouled anchor.
    Hope you enjoy the video!

    Enjoyed the video, harbors are pretty entertaining, it’s amazing how difficult some people make out of the simple task of mooring.

    The fun of Greece in the summer, I was in Vathy and Simi in July August Skippering about the time you did the Corinth and kept missing you, hope you enjoyed the Med and are safe travels back to the Atlantic

    Well done on helping at paxos. Having experienced some of that myself it’s nice to see someone who helps. If a few more people like you offered to help in these busy anchorages everyone would benefit. Unfortunately even sailing is still full of selfish idiots!

    Far out, that poor bloke. Good on you James for helping that’s the Aussie spirit. This place is just like Pittwater on a weekend and that’s not good !!!. , but the town with those lovely shops in the alleyways makes up for it. That bloke was certainly crazy 😜 but it takes all types. Enjoy yourselves & stay safe.🍺🍺👍

    As for the screaming capt, someone should stealthily row over to his boat in middle of the night and toss a nut and washer on deck near the mast. It’ll drive him batty worrying about if the mast going to fall😝. Won’t change his temper but would be fun to do.

    I think quiet anchorages in Greece are a better idea. Entertaining as these characters are...
    Hey, it makes good "TV" though!

  • @dgasmd1
    @dgasmd1 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nicely done. Often hear of these "cruiser's guides" but see no reference to them. Can you point some links or names to them to lean more about it?

    • @SailingZephyr
      @SailingZephyr  3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      “Cruiser guides” are available for almost every area of the world. We typically find most guides we need through the website Noonsite. Excellent overall resource for everything. 👍

    Looks like you guys are still having lots of fun on the water. What was the issue with the Transit Log? (Normally they last 18 months in Greece.) Don't they allow Australians or is it Canadians to stay longer than 30 days?

    • @SailingZephyr
      @SailingZephyr  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Hey Michael...it was the fact that the boat is registered in Canada and our passports were Australian....and they needed those to match up apparently....I think we got a very unhappy immigration guy as I have never heard of it being a problem as long as you pay your cruising fee every month

    • @miketcq8
      @miketcq8 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@SailingZephyr thanks for the clarity, now I see why having an EU registered boat in the Med is the ideal solution. looking forward to following your 20212 escapades.

  • @SailGeja
    @SailGeja 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    A tip for detaching from shore: Shoulda left the aft port line on the cleat. Then she can pull herself to the boat with the line. Way better than having her chase after the boat in the water while carrying the entire stern line.
    At the rock, use half hitches, not a bowline, as the former can be untied under load.
    Now I know why she put on flippers, which otherwise shouldn’t be needed. Sometimes the mooring rick is up on shore a ways.

    • @SailingZephyr
      @SailingZephyr  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks SailGeja! We didn’t have a clue what we were doing! Hahaha 😂 makes total sense what you’re saying! Merry Xmas and happy new year

    Ah, come on! you tease us with this awesome technique to get the chain unfouled and then nothin. :>( You can't leave us hanging like that! FYI, I would have been out there with you helping out others in distress. It is just not in my blood to stand bye and not help.

    • @SailingZephyr
      @SailingZephyr  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ahhh. Sorry mate. Will post something soon on the anchor save. But it’s no more complicated than securing one end of a line to the forward cleat, loop the other end under the fouled chain and secure it to the forward cleat. Lower your anchor till it’s free and then either slip the fouled chain and raise your anchor or raise your anchor till it’s past the fouled chain and then slip the fouled chain. 🤙

      Having been to this exact spot thrice (albeit mooring at the harbour quay) I can guarantee you that it is indeed a lovely place to spend a night... if you enjoy loud music, dancing and partying, that is. :D
