Sunrise to sunset what a memorable day. We left Loutra, Kythnos, Greece in the am to a stunning sunset and glassed off waters. We had plenty of great sailing at 7 knots with both sails out and an average of 25 knots of wind to help us cross to the mainland and drop anchor in Varis Bay off Varkiza Beach, Greece. We had a quick dip in the sea at sunset to cool off before bed. We will miss our many friends in the Cyclades and Dodacanese but we are excited to be out of the main Meltemi path. Corinth Canal here we come ⛵️🙌🏼

How to tie the Anchor hitch. ▫️ Also known as an Anchor Bend although that's a bit of a misnomer. This can be used to fasten a line to an Anchor, a warp to an Anchor chain or to tie your tender off onto a ring at the dock. Careful, it can jam, but it should be fine under moderate loads. ▫️ It's similar to a round turn and 2 half hitches except you tuck the working line through the loop of the turns giving you more friction and a stronger hold. Finish it off with a half hitch. ▫️ Add an extra turn at the beginning if you like. Why not? In fact this will make the knot less susceptible to jamming. ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #hitch #hitches #anchorhitch #multihulls #thehitcher #sailing #catamarans #sailinglife #knots #sailingknots #ropes #bestknots #multihull #knot #boats #yachts #catamaran #rope #instaknots #seamanship #katamarans

http://www.teambrunel.com/ #GetOnBoard report 29: A hitchhiking snake. The crew noticed there was something odd on the keel of the Team Brunel. Louis Balcaen had to go in and get rid of it. After examining it he discovered it was a snake to the discontent of Gerd-Jan Poortman who straight away resigned for a next Volvo Ocean Race. A Magenta Films production http://www.magenta-films.com
