Nice video. 👍. Didn't know you could stop while having the freedom of passage. Anyway luckily the cloud didn't open all his secrets on you 😊. Have a nice sail. Greetings from the Etanche ⚓⛵⚓☀️
You can only stop or anchor on innocent passage where it is "incidental to ordinary navigation or are rendered necessary by force majeure or distress or for the purpose of rendering assistance..." (UNCLOS III). I would suggest that Turkey could well argue this wasn't innocent passage (if they wanted to be a nuisance).
You must like horrible early mornings! They are one of the worse parts of cruising, in my opinion. Looking at your timings - it seems you could have got up at a more agreeable 8 am and still arrived in good daylight hours? Also, how is it you have your engine on yet have a reefed foresail? Looking at your ensign, it seems there was a nice true wind breeze to take advantage of, and looking at the maps you showed, it seemed you could lay your destination. It was a truly excellent music track at the end.
Hi. We had to leave early to avoid the blow that was coming through from the West at lunch time. If we left later we would have had hard weather on the beam the last few hours. When the wind is on the nose or very near it, putting sails up gives you a boost and steady's the boat in the bigger seas. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
