Nightmare Crossing the Ionian sea. Greece to Italy.

- Crossing the Ionian sea. Greece to Italy. This years weather in the Med has been very unstable due to solar activity in this El Niño year. The water has been very warm storing lots of energy. At some points the cape index has been off the charts and sudden storms and lightning have swept across Europe and the Med. The water temperature is still 3-4 degrees C hotter than normal and there are still high cape indexes even this late in the season. Just when we need to cross the Ionian sea to Italy! Enjoy the video.
Welcome to our channel.
We are now in season 7
In 2018 we left the UK to sail around the world slowly. After Brexit, a "Pandemic" and major heart surgery we are still sailing, documenting our travels and showing you what we have learned so far.
We are hoping to complete our journey, and travel right around the world even if we have had a few setbacks along the way. We will continue at our own pace and that may be fast or slow. We want to be sure not to miss anything and have stories to tell our grandchildren when we are old and grey.
Sail Safe Guys, Ant & Cid.
We do have a second channel YOUR DRONE TV It is a mix of music from classical to blues, from Opera to Punk all with stunning drone footage.

Eventful conditions, well done. Good luck and thank you for sharing. Xx
Yes, squalls brrrr especially with lightning in it. Cost me already my AIS. You did well and fast. Regards from the Etanche 🇮🇹🇬🇷⚓
Thanks Guys just arrived in Tunisia. Sail Safe.
That was a tough call, once you were amongst it. 😀👍⛵️
Tell me about it. Now in Tunisia. Back to the UK soon. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
Those squalls looked vicious, I never sailed the Med but had lots of them in the Caribbean.
Thay are not predictable at this time of year. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
That was a bit of excitement for you. Good decision to use radar and dodge the worst of the squalls.
It was. It has been a strange year for weather. We are now in Tunisia and the water is hotter than a bath! Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
It certainly was! Thanks for watching. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
Can you surf upwind .
Yes David, if the waves or swell is behind you. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
No lifejackets?😢
No. Our choice. We are don't wrap ourselves in cotton wool and bubble wrap when driving either.
Both Italy and Greece are EU members (unfortunately!) do you still need to check out of Greece to go to Italy?
No but, if you check out of Greece your 90/180 days stop. We then become a Vessel In Transit. under IMO regulations and travel on a Q flag to Malta where we check in with a crew list not a passport.
@@SVImpavidus Ah thanks. that's clever, we were burned by that 90/180 day rule ourselves. Had to put the boat on hard after our 90 days were up :(
Whats up with all the Engine, com’on go sail.
It's the Med. Either too much wind or not enough. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
