Steph and Travis sail Jibsea 75 nautical miles from northern Scotland to the Orkney Islands, a 12–13 hour passage that turns into an 80–90% motor trip after winds drop to 5–7 knots from behind the beam instead of the forecast 8–10 knots ahead of it.0:01 Timing the tidal currents through the final headland proves critical — Travis notes they would not have made it through without getting the timing right.4:43 The anchorage at Kirkwall holds only 11 feet under the keel at high water, dropping to 5 feet at low, with mooring buoys packed tightly enough that swinging room is tight; calm conditions allow them to anchor rather than pay for a marina berth.6:50 The Kirkwall Marina had not responded to a booking email sent days earlier, which they attribute to volunteer-only staffing before peak season.17:25 Two rounds of provisioning in Kirkwall focus on stocking up for Norway, where meat prices are expected to rival Iceland's; Travis vacuum-seals chicken and other meats to maximize freezer space and prevent freezer burn.7:12 A second freezer is switched on to handle the load.19:16 The Orkney Islands are the last UK stop before the Norway crossing.10:18
