Bad Seamanship Episode 1. Return to Alimos in High Season

Epic Navigator In this video, we analyze a real incident at Alimos Marina, where a monohull stops at the narrowest point of the entrance, blocking traffic under westerly wind conditions and creating immediate risk for surrounding vessels and the harbor entrance. This is not a discussion about infrastructure, marina design, or lack of assistance. It is a discussion about seamanship. Seamanship is not defined by equipment or facilities. It is defined by judgment, situational awareness, and responsibility toward others at sea. In this analysis, we break seamanship down into three fundamental principles: 1.Does the action help the skipper without putting others at risk? 2.Does it improve or obstruct the flow and safety of the surrounding environment? 3.Would the same action be acceptable if it were done to us? Using real footage from a Greek marina, we examine how individual decisions can escalate risk for everyone, especially in confined spaces and adverse wind conditions. This video is part of an ongoing effort to document real-world situations in Greek harbors and to promote practical, operational seamanship — not theory, not blame, but clear judgment and accountability at sea. If you value calm analysis, real incidents, and skill-based seamanship, your input is welcome in the comments.
