Sailing Greece: Katabatic Winds, Dragging Boats & A Bad Docking Day 🇬🇷
Ep. 215 ~ This week we're sailing through the beautiful Ionian Islands of Greece, welcoming friends aboard Oka before unexpected katabatic winds turn a peaceful anchorage into a stressful day for a few skippers.
Watch as sailors work together to help a dragging boat, explore the protected anchorage of Vlicho Bay and experience one of the toughest docking days we've had in a long time. Sometimes the biggest challenge isn't the weather... it's staying confident at the helm.
Along the way, we visit the beautiful island of Meganisi, spot unusual fried egg jellyfish and begin planning some of Oka's biggest winter upgrades.
Whether you're planning a sailing holiday in Greece, dreaming of living aboard a sailboat,or looking for retirement travel inspiration, we hope you'll enjoy coming along for another Mediterranean adventure.
Have you ever had one of those days where nothing seemed to go right? We'd love to hear your story in the comments!
