Mooring Buoy Failure in Kalymnos, Greece! ⛵ How We Handled It Safely

Epic Navigator Welcome to Epic Navigator! 🌊⛵ What happens when a mooring buoy suddenly comes loose while you're securing your yacht? During our sailing adventure in Kalymnos, Greece, we experienced exactly that! After carefully approaching a mooring buoy and securing our yacht to the rope attached to the metal ring beneath it, we discovered that the buoy itself had come loose! Fortunately, we had secured the yacht correctly, allowing us to manage the situation safely.
