Severe Wind Zone 41+ knots & 10.5 knots speed! Scary stuff | S09E06

After leaving the anchorage we head between the islands of Kythnos & Kea to be hit with accelerating winds of 41knots (Beware of severe acceleration zones). Our experience from years of sailing in Greece told us to reef early, which once again saved us a lot of stress. Surfing down 3m waves at speeds in excess of 10knots was definitely an adrenalin rush, but one we could have done without! Our destination is the Greek mainland and the anchorage at Pountezeza, where we go ashore to explore and check in. We head over to the port of Lavrion, where we come across a yard full of wind turbines? WOW they are big! Next stop on the journey is further up the coast to the bay of Sounion where we find the famous Temple of Poseidon. It's a short stay as the anchorage is uncomfortable with a constant swell rolling in. Moving on to the bay of Focaia we experience the same swell, so swiftly move on to Varkiza. This is a great anchorage and we will stay here until we are joined by friends, but first visit the great city of Athens. #sailing #sailinglife #sail #boat #sea #yacht #sailboat #yachting #boatlife #travel #boating #yachtlife #ocean #boats #sailor #summer #sailingboat #sunset #adventure #sailingyacht #sailinginstagram #yachts #nature #sailingphotography #photography #beach #catamaran #sailinglovers #instasailing Like, share and comment if you enjoyed this video Watch related video's https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtSgWO980Hg&t=25s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGrbHYTKyQc&t=2s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfpZzkPZTko Feel free to share this video Checkout our channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCu_TXBvLqimTelcfKu2Dkfg Follow the Blog http://sailingkejstraladventures.weebly.com/blog Check out our new website & subscribe to the newsletter http://sailingkejstraladventures.weebly.com/contact.html AUDIO ------------ Under the Creative Commons Licence Tourist by Scandinavianz / scandinavianz Music provided by Free Music for Vlogs Sunshine Walk by EuGenius / eu-genius Music provided by Free Music for Vlogs A huge thankyou to all our subscribers and followers, It's this support that makes producing these video's worthwhile.
