Golden hour Grecian views 🤩 … even more spectacular when viewed from the deck of a boat, wouldn't you agree? Picture this… golden light dancing on the waves, the clink of glasses on deck, and the scent of grilled seafood drifting from a waterside taverna steps from the sea. You could be spending your days sailing to new Greek destinations across the Saronic Islands; discovering hidden coves, swimming in turquoise bays, and enjoying delicious meals prepared for you on board. Visit Greece in 2026 on a sailing adventure that takes you beyond the guidebooks and experience the islands at their most beautiful - from the water. 📍Saronic Islands ⛵️
When we arrived at the anchorage, Holly handled the windlass while I talked through how we set the anchor. We’ve also got the anchor alarm running on a split screen, so you can see it working in real time, including when the alarms go off. The anchor watch is a custom Home Assistant setup that takes GPS, depth, heading and wind data from Signal K. It calculates our swing radius using the amount of rode we’ve put out and the depth, then keeps an eye on the boat for any signs that we’re dragging. If the boat moves outside the area it should be in, both our phones get an alert and the onboard siren sounds, whether we’re awake, asleep, or simply not paying attention. That’s really why we built it: for peace of mind when we’re anchored. We’ve put the full write-up on our website, and Crew members can download the integration and map panel code.
