We leave the Temple of Poseidon and sail to our first Greek Island to check out Ancient Karthaia, on the way we encounter some big waves and wind, which puts...

slightly maybe sailing it's a little
wavy today
[Music]
good morning so we're still and get just
outside the temple facade and at the top
of the hill it's cool little spot here
it's crazy windy all night
so job for this morning before we get
going to the islands is I'm gonna head
up the mast to check out what's going on
with that fella let's do that now and
we're up the mast hope it's not so windy
you can't hear me but here's the
offender and just feel how rough that is
so when we're trying to fill the sail
this is meant to stay straight so it
doesn't twist up to hide what's
happening is these two parts are binding
together in so while we're trying to
fill it's actually trying to fill all
the line around the sail to the halyard
so gonna disconnect the head and see if
we can see what's going on there oh it's
really rocking up here
[Music]
it's pretty shaky up here but I got Liam
to send up some grease so I just managed
to pack as much grease as I could into
that little hole in here and now it
seems to be a bit freer because it was
just dry ball bearings just rattling
around in there so I filled it with
grease and that's about all I can do to
change this out I believe the whole
forced air has to come down so that's
definitely not a job for a windy grease
Anchorage and I don't have any pot so
hopefully a bit of grease I'm guy Salem
will just pull out a little bit of Mel
and see if it works but it's about all
we can do how do we go mate and it's
better
what's up there show
[Music]
so lame you wanna come sailing maybe
sailing it's a little wavy today with
the waves
you wouldn't think it from the commoner
but we're experiencing some of the
biggest waves we've had so far
and while they are exciting and fun that
also [ __ ] scary but we're totally
fine
it's just learning how to handhold and
helm in these kind of conditions and
most of the waves are fine there's just
a couple of like a little rogue wave so
can I talk for them a little bit we're
having a debate on how big these waves
are definitely going a meeting and a
half boys are playing it done just our
lives well maybe maybe seventy
centimeters
well my stomach certainly jumping over
[Music]
here to experience this but definitely
be happy we run much
people love to
[Music]
[Music]
yes oh it's just Piper Piper ruff so
it's pretty wavy down here pretty fun
I'm just heading up into Java and
Cheryl's bedroom which is at the front
of the boat and the v-berth to
experience what it's like when there's
big waves and you're up front but it's
actually too bad because we've got some
[Music]
crazy
[Music]
[Music]
no relief less concerned about gusty
winds yeah Bobby's just holding on for
dear life here what do you think of
[Music]
she'll be happy when it's all over
we're getting involved on the windward
side so we had our first viewer we're
gonna ask him how he's feeling knife be
rough a little bit better after having a
spear evac it's not something I'm used
to that's sure what I'd be
[Music]
yeah yeah you gotta steer off of it
maybe you come in to the Trump of the
next one so it's really interesting for
us being out in this kind of conditions
is quite big waves and it's still fairly
windy we're looking at you know 15 to 20
knots apparent wind so we decided to go
for just a heavily reef Genoa and a
heavily mane we're being quite
conservative here just cause it's wavy
and we want to take it easy but this
boat coming up behind us you can see he
just got out his hold you know on but
he's obviously feeling overpowered so
he's he's really eased it so it's just
sad they're flapping the whole time but
he's making slightly better better
heading than us it's pulled us in so I
guess different ways to do the same
thing but I feel like a little bit of
both sails is definitely gonna balance a
home a bit more and especially we're
working hard getting getting hit by
these waves so that's what we decided
with let us know down below if you'd rig
something different
[Music]
[Music]
so after spending today getting bashed
around during the passage from mainland
Greece across to our first island and
it's a cool spot that's really nice
little ruins up on the hill but we're
gonna get a lot of wind tonight again
always and we've got no space here so
for our first try we're gonna get out a
stern anchor so we're not sure if we're
doing it right
it's our first try I haven't got the
right lines but I'm just gonna have a go
yeah throw it out and see if we can get
it tight and stopped ourselves swinging
around so much sounds good to me let's
get her done know what we're doing so we
got some idea but you know learning
perfect I'm happy that we've stopped
swinging a lot actually it makes a huge
difference what's the plan it's not
Cheryl well we just stare whipped up
with a little salad and got other
perishables and we're gonna go to the
beach and have a little fire a little
barbecue watch sunset opportunity to
check out your dunes
Uber's here hello
[Music]
yeah yeah it's a little yeah hey teams
are off headed to shore Bruins on the
hill cheeky Twilight droney little fire
you know
[Music]
how neat this is cut it's just they've
obviously restored it a bit and brought
it back but it's very cool like this is
a difficult place to build on but says
here in attempt to fit a building of
this size in the narrow space available
the car thien's
carved the bedrock and built a huge
retaining wall on the abrupt slope to
the sea sometime after the 7th C ad
[Music]
how cool is this foil
[Music]
Andy this is a stadium 2,000 people used
to come here I wonder what the trenches
